Discover Avera St. Mary's

At the turn of the 20th century, a small group of brave Sisters began cleaning up the former Park Hotel in Pierre for a school. Yet when health care was identified as an even greater need, they rose to this challenge and opened a hospital in 1899. Since, Avera St. Mary's Hospital has undergone many changes and improvements. Through the decades, Avera St. Mary's has continued to grow in response to health needs as part of the region-leading Avera Health system. Discover more about Avera St. Mary's, including:
