We are so pleased to announce that Dr. Dave Kapaska has been recognized by the American Heart Association for his efforts helping to expand Medicaid in South Dakota. The Association tapped Kapaska to lead its efforts for Medicaid expansion. As co-chair of the organization's South Dakota Cabinet, Kapaska is committed to advancing health equity and access to care.

For his role in the Medicaid expansion, which will launch this summer, Kapaska will be honored June 14 during the AHA's National Volunteer Awards event, a virtual ceremony that begins at 6 p.m. Central and is open to the public. The award recognizes individuals or organizations for an important contribution to a national program.
