Avera Flandreau Hospital

Avera Flandreau Hospital in Moody County is a hospital of groundbreaking firsts. The hospital — which came under Avera management in 1993 — was the first Avera facility to convert to the critical access hospital program and was the pilot site for telemedicine services in 2003. Avera Flandreau Hospital was also an early adopter of an intensive care unit (ICU), emergency and pharmacy telemedicine platforms. It is the only acute care facility in Moody County, serving a diverse rural population and making history for its innovations in efficient and economical health care delivery.
