AVERA HEART HOSPITAL OF SOUTH DAKOTA

The Avera Heart Hospital is a cooperative venture between Avera McKennan and North Central Heart.

Our physicians bring a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Their education and skills are unsurpassed in the area of cardiovascular medicine in this region.

For patients we offer hope, compassion and a comprehensive approach to keeping the heart healthy and treating it when it's not.

For physicians, we are a powerful resource, specially designed and equipped to support the cardiovascular care giver in the pursuit of a better way to provide heart care.

Heart disease is largely preventable. Through Avera Heart Hospital's outpatient clinics and the Planet Heart screening program, we hope to help people become aware of heart disease and the risk factors.
