Avera Gregory Hospital

Avera Gregory Hospital, an affiliate of Avera since 1997, is owned by Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center, one of the Upper Midwest’s premier medical centers. With a tradition of service inspired by the Benedictine and Presentation Sisters, Avera Gregory serves the health needs of south-central South Dakota and northern Nebraska with accessible, cost-effective care.

At our facility, which carries out Avera Health's tradition of Gospel-centered health care, you benefit from evidence-based treatment, a strong focus on your safety and comfort while you stay with us, and the best possible outcomes.

• Parking for emergency services is located on the west side of the building near the painted red entrance marked “Emergency.” All other patients and visitors may park in the main front parking lot.
• All non-emergency patients and visitors are welcome to enter through the main entrance under the big canopy and check in with reception just inside.
• Most general care areas welcome visitors during the day. Please keep in mind that doors to the facility lock after 5 PM for security purposes.
• We recommend no more than two visitors at a time. Minors and dependent adults must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
• We may restrict visitors, temporarily close and adjust hours to protect the safety of patients and staff.
• Find a quiet place for prayer or meditation in the chapel on campus.
• Learn about your patient rights, responsibilities and role in safe health care.
• If you have concerns or a complaint about your care:
  • Contact the department or clinic manager.
  • For written concerns or complaints, contact the hospital’s main phone number and ask to speak to the risk management department.
  • Should you have a concern that is unresolved, you have the right to contact the South Dakota Department of Health at 600 East Capitol Ave, Pierre, SD 57501 or at 605-773-3361.

We offer innovative imaging technology, including X-ray, CT and DXA scan, 3D and digital mammography, ultrasound, MRI and fluoroscopy, which are available for clinical staff to order around the clock for patients making scheduled visits. We also offer nuclear medicine at this location via mobile unit. Experts conduct comfortable and quick imaging, so you receive accurate diagnosis which will determine the right treatment for your health.

Right inside our facility, you have access to a wide range of laboratory services that contribute to accurate diagnoses of medical conditions. Expert specialists conduct safe and reliable lab testing, helping you and your provider get the results you need to start an effective and personalized treatment plan.

This location also offers Avera Lab Direct Access Testing, which lets you quickly and confidentially order a variety of tests without a doctor’s order. These tests help you monitor ongoing risks — such as complete blood count, glucose, lipids or hemoglobin — but shouldn’t be a replacement for the personalized care of your primary care provider.

This hospital is a swing bed provider under federal regulations, meaning that it can use hospital beds, as needed, to provide either acute or skilled nursing facility care. Post-hospital extended care services provided in a swing bed hospital are allowed coverage under Medicare Part A. This allows a patient to continue receiving services in the hospital even though acute care is no longer required.
