THE SOUTH DAKOTA REGION’S PREMIER PUBLICATION FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS

From Us to You

Staying in Touch with MED

WELCOME TO the June issue of

MED! Whether you are a clinician, an administrator, or some other healthcare stakeholder in our three-state region, we trust you’ll find news and information in these pages to enhance and support your life and business.

In this issue, we shine a spotlight on a flagship independent rural hospital. Prairie Lakes Healthcare System was recently named a Top 20 hospital. But, as you’ll see in our cover feature, this dynamic institution is not resting on its laurels, but continues to grow and expand both its campus and its services.

Also with exclusive interviews, and new technology, you’ll also find helpful information in this issue on

• the legal ramifications of South Dakota’s new data breach reporting law

• initiatives aimed at improving communication between radiologists and other specialists

• advice for de-escalating workplace violence and

• presenting like a pro.

Remember, MED is now regularly posting new news on our website. If you are not already on the VIP list to receive news updates (and early access to each issue) right in your Inbox, be sure to sign up at MidwestMedicalEdition.com. All the best! —Steff and Alex
