Avera Cancer Institute

Because of cancer’s huge impact in our lives, Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center believes that residents of our region deserve world-class cancer care without having to travel hundreds of miles away. We believe that patients deserve comprehensive care for the whole person – body, mind and spirit.

The Avera Cancer Institute is a destination cancer center, right here in Sioux Falls. With outcomes that meet or exceed those of national cancer centers, residents of our region need look no further than the Avera Cancer Institute for the best community cancer care available.

A cancer care leader for three decades

Avera has been leading the way in cancer care in our region for nearly 30 years. The new Avera Cancer Institute builds upon a time-tested cancer program that was already outstanding as a regional cancer center. Learn more »
