This month, we are excited to cross the border into Iowa to feature one of the country's most dynamic mid-sized community hospitals. Spencer Hospital was recently named a Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital for the eighth time. MED spoke with two of its leaders about what makes this smaller hospital such a big deal.
Also in this issue, important considerations regarding your patients' access to their information that could save you a lot of trouble later, Journey Construction shows off its newest Avera project in Gregory, and more on how community health workers are helping to fill workforce gaps in rural South Dakota.
We also have a full lineup of News & Notes and a list of upcoming medical conferences, meetings, and even golf outings in This Month Online.
