WAVERLY, Iowa - Dr. Clay Dahlquist has received Waverly Health Center’s (WHC) medical staff Spotlight on Values award. Nominated for his compassion, Dr. Dahlquist is an example of WHC values in action.

Dr. Dahlquist is recognized by WHC staff and patients for providing a humanizing touch to health care. One nominator wrote, "Dr. Dahlquist sees every patient for what they are: a person, a fellow human, someone's child, parent or spouse."

In addition, Dr. Dahlquist is recognized for going above and beyond his duties as a physician. He takes the extra time necessary to make sure every patient need is met while also making sure the patient is cared for emotionally. WHC staff also appreciates his willingness to jump into any situation and lend a helping hand.

Dr. Dahlquist specializes in family practice and emergency medicine and began his career in Waverly in 2005. He will be joining the Christophel Clinic at Waverly Health Center this spring in order to provide family medical care to area residents. He received his undergraduate degree from Wartburg College and his Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Des Moines University.

Waverly Health Center has adopted five values which include compassion, enthusiasm, excellence, innovation and integrity. The Spotlight on Values program recognizes Waverly Health Center employees, volunteers and physicians for demonstrating these values. Patients, visitors and employees are encouraged to submit nominations for the WHC Spotlight on Values honors.
