On Saturday, 10 July 1993, Iowans were assaulted by the greatest natural disaster in the state's history when virtually all rain-swollen rivers and creeks in the Midwest spilled over their banks. In Des Moines, the Iowa Methodist Medical Center was suddenly surrounded by flood waters and stripped of power, water, computer, and telephone communication. Striving to deliver quality patient care in the face of the crisis, medical staff, administrators, and employees at the center achieved recovery in record time.
1993年7月10日星期六，爱荷华州遭遇了该州历史上最严重的自然灾害，当时中西部地区几乎所有因雨水上涨的河流和小溪都漫过了堤岸。在得梅因，爱荷华卫理公会医疗中心突然被洪水包围，电力、供水、计算机和电话通讯全部中断。面对危机，该中心的医护人员、管理人员和员工努力提供高质量的患者护理，并在创纪录的时间内实现了恢复。
