UIImage doesn't show unless i click on my table cell - xcode

Question

I've spent some time writing an xcode application today. I'm using a UITableView with a seperate xib for the table view cell. All is working well besides one quirky thing. In my code I set my image on the table cell xib from an array. When i run the app I've found out that the image does not appear on the table cell until I click on the table cell. And when I click on a different cell, the image on my previously selected cell disappears.
Funny thing is that I set my label on the table cell xib exactly the same way however I don't get the issue with the label.
Here is my code. I would greatly appreciate some help.
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
UITableViewCell *cell = nil;
cell = [tbHealthCheck dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"CONTENT"]; //all the cells in this table are named content (identifier for all cells in table)
if (cell == nil){
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"FirstViewTableCell" owner:self options:nil];
cell = tcHealthCheck;
tcHealthCheck = nil;
}
UILabel *l1 = (UILabel *) [cell viewWithTag:0];
[l1 setText:[healthCheckCategory objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
l1.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"arial" size:14];
[l1 setTextColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
UIImageView *img1 = (UIImageView *) [cell viewWithTag:1];
NSString *status = [healthCheckStatus objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if ([status isEqualToString:#"RED"])
{
img1.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"red-light-badge.png"];
}
else if ([status isEqualToString:#"YELLOW"])
{
img1.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"yellow-light-badge.png"];
}
else if ([status isEqualToString:#"GREEN"])
{
img1.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"green-light-badge.png"];
}
return cell;
}
