“We are proud to be the only South Dakota hospital outside of Sioux Falls to be recognized by Newsweek and Statista in 2024,” said President and CEO Jason Merkley. “To consistently make the same list as such elite healthcare providers as Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic and The Johns Hopkins Hospital demonstrates our team’s commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate, personalized health care to every patient, every time.”
Brookings Health ranks 189 of the Best Hospitals 2024 in the United States, up 40 spots from last year’s ranking.

Patient Experience: surveys measuring patient satisfaction with hospitals and the quality of care the patient received
Hospital Quality Metrics: data on quality of care, hygiene measures and staffing
Patient Reported Outcome Measures: surveys measuring patient satisfaction with hospitals
