This was our delivery at Monument Health Sturgis Hospital today!
Sturgis RN, Holly Christianson (center), her mother, Georgia Byram (left) and daughter, Glory Christianson (right), a PCC in Sturgis, have created a new Thanksgiving tradition. For three years, they have organized a Turkey Tote raffle for Sturgis caregivers. Holly and her family purchase everything for a Thanksgiving dinner including a turkey, ham and all the fixings to make side dishes and drinks, as well as something fun like table decorations or a game. The twist is that caregivers can purchase raffle tickets for another caregiver, but not themselves. This year they were able to raise $300 from the Turkey Tote raffle. The funds benefit the Sturgis Meals on Wheels program.
Blood donations can drop dramatically this time of year, but the need for blood doesn’t take a holiday. Patients are relying on donors like you to give the blood they need.
Join us at our blood drive on Friday, November 27th on the mobile bus in the Fairmont parking lot of Monument Health Rapid City Hospital.
As a thank you, Vitalant will give presenting donors now until Dec. 1 a $5 Amazon Gift Card via email or 200 reward points. Restrictions apply, learn more and sign-up at https://bit.ly/3nBjZ7t.

Illness or injury can strike suddenly.
When these situations occur, we’re often faced with uncertainty about where to go for care, especially if the symptoms seem severe and our regular doctor’s office is closed.
While the answer is not always simple, knowing the difference between urgent care and emergency care and where to seek treatment could save your life in a medical emergency.

Monument Health continues to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to those identified in Phase 1A. To better understand the phases, please check out this infographic provided by the South Dakota Department of Health.
We had hoped to announce the winning name of the new arena at The Monument on Thursday. However, we need to verify some information before confirming the new name. Beginning in 2021, the whole complex will be named The Monument. The new arena, currently under construction, will have its own name. Stay tuned.
We appreciate the inquiries about when the COVID-19 vaccine will be available. The South Dakota Department of Health is allocating the COVID-19 vaccine supplies statewide.
At this time, the state has assigned Sanford Health, Avera Health and Monument Health the task of storing the vaccine and administering it to the Phase 1A group of healthcare and long-term care workers in their areas. The DOH will also direct Monument Health in the distribution of vaccine in later phases.
State DOH is in charge of determining when other groups will receive the vaccine. The Department of Health has created this infographic that outlines the priority groups in Phase 1.
We recommend that independent health care providers, school officials, other professionals, and individual residents continue to pay attention to communications from the Department of Health and Monument Health for more information as it becomes available.
