SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) The Board of Directors of The Link has selected Avera as the provider to operate services at the community triage center.
The Link, located at 132 N. Dakota Ave. in downtown Sioux Falls, will offer a detoxification center, a sobering center, and a behavioral health triage service within the same location.
The Board of Directors and project team for The Link issued a formal Request for Proposals earlier this year seeking a triage center provider. The evaluation was based on a previously determined rating scale to assess a proposal’s suitability, and after a review, the Board directed the Project Team to conduct formal interviews. Members of the Board and project team who might have a conflict of interest concern recused themselves from the ranking and selection process. The Board voted on December 3rd to approve and extend a contract to Avera, and both parties have now signed the contract.
