About Avera Heart Hospital of South Dakota
We're the Avera Heart Hospital of South Dakota. We focus our resources on heart and vascular disease. How to fight it. How to beat it. For patients we offer hope, compassion and a comprehensive approach to keeping the heart healthy and treating it when it's not. For physicians, we are a powerful resource, specially designed and equipped to support the cardiovascular care giver in the pursuit of a better way to provide heart care.
Our physicians are empowered to make medical decisions that implement their best judgment on behalf of the patient. We practice "Patient Focused Care," a concept which includes assigning a team of six to eight highly trained caregivers to follow patients throughout their stay. This intimate approach promotes understanding, bonding and continuity of care. All of our patient rooms are private and fully equipped to meet the special needs of heart patients.
