Olhausen Receives Award from Governor

LeAnn Olhausen recently received an award from Governor Kim Reynolds and Lt. Governor Adam Gregg during a special recognition ceremony held on June 25 in Ankeny.

Olhausen was honored for her work with the Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP). SHIIP is a confidential service of the State of Iowa that helps Iowans make informed decisions about Medicare and other health coverage. Olhausen is one of three SHIIP counselors at Loring Hospital who help Loring Hospital patients and community members navigate senior health insurance options.

“Those being recognized are the people who invest in others without expecting anything in return—except, of course, for the fulfillment that comes from doing their part to give back to their community,” said Gov. Kim Reynolds. “This collective impact is nothing short of remarkable.”

More than 400 awards were presented this year. It is estimated that over 85 communities in Iowa were served by this year’s honorees.
