"Serving Hands as the Fragrance of a Rose" is a tribute to healthcare workers, prominently displayed at the Marshalltown Medical and Surgical Center in Marshalltown, Iowa. Unveiled in 2011, this striking installation features four life-size bronze figures, each dressed in medical attire, standing atop a beautifully landscaped rose garden planter. The sculpture celebrates a century of care provided by the hospital, depicting two figures—a doctor and nurse from 100 years ago—alongside their modern counterparts. Positioned in a circle, the figures face outward with outstretched arms and open hands, illustrating their readiness to embrace and support those in need. This group welcomes visitors and serves as a lasting reminder of the vital role that healthcare workers play in our lives.
