When one Avera patient noticed changes in his bowel habits, it would have been easy to ignore them. Instead, he made an appointment.

Grateful for our friends at Alpine Companies for always thinking of and supporting our smallest patients!

Because of the incredible generosity of everyone who supported our concert and golf tournament, we were honored to present a check today to the Avera NICU. 💚

These events were more than just a great time—they were an opportunity to come together as a community and support the important care provided to the tiniest patients and their families. We’re so grateful to everyone who participated and helped make this possible!
