What Avera Queen of Peace becoming a Critical Access Hospital means

During this week’s announcement of Avera Queen of Peace becoming a Critical Access Hospital, incoming president and CEO, Dr. Hilary Rockwell said it may add some services such as in-patient dialysis.

She says it will start slow as Queen of Peace will take patients that are already established with Avera Grasslands dialysis.

Queen of Peace was recently recognized as a Top 20 hospital by the National Rural Health Association.
