Sioux Falls Avera Hospital Named Top Health Systems in the Nation
Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center is getting some well-deserved recognition as IBM Watson Health has named the Sioux Falls medical facilities as one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals.
“This award recognizes the consistent and innovative care Avera provides no matter which of our clinics or hospitals you walk into. It’s an award that belongs to our front-line caregivers, and it’s well-deserved, especially in light of the past year of the pandemic. I’m so proud of this and other national accolades that verify the quality care that’s delivered on a day-to-day basis at all our facilities,” said Bob Sutton, President and CEO of Avera Health. “Avera has hospitals that are ranking among the top in the nation, from our smallest critical access facilities to our large tertiary care center.”
