Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 18th of November.
Good morning, Davenport.
💼 Business
IMEG and Baker Tilly were named winners of the partner category in the 18th annual Deltek MVP Awards for automating the calculation of unallowable travel expenses, a project that saved money by ending a third-party expense process.
Their award-winning work reached payback in less than nine months — a boost for IMEG’s digital transformation.
Quad Cities was named Technology Community of the Year—Russell received the 2025 AGC of Missouri Keystone Award and Per Mar Security Services was named the 2025 Gold winner.
🏛️ Government
Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird warned Iowans that holiday scams are rising and urged everyone to check websites and emails carefully — a reminder to verify gift card security and the legitimacy of deals.
She offered clear tips to help shoppers avoid sharing personal information and falling victim to scammers — advice aimed at protecting consumers during online shopping.
🏥 Health
UnityPoint Health performed the Quad Cities' first leadless pacemaker procedure at Trinity Heart Center in Rock Island, led by Dr. Helbert Acosta to help regulate heart rhythm without wires.
The minimally invasive procedure—done through a small puncture in the groin—may allow patients to recover faster with fewer complications.
