What's on your plate and how you prepare it makes all the difference. Beef Logic Inc., a non-profit dedicated to beef-based nutrition education and highlights South Dakota ranchers, recently visited Monument Health and partnered with our team for a hands-on healthy eating demonstration. Together, they showed how simple, protein-rich, family-friendly meals can support overall health and wellness.

Stroke can happen to anyone — any age, any time. Knowing the signs could save a life. It could save yours. May is Stroke Awareness Month. Monument Health Stroke Coordinator Morgan Lantis, BSN, RN, takes stroke education directly to care teams at Rapid City Hospital through a program called Clots and Coffee — walking every floor, every shift, making sure our Caregivers are prepared to recognize and respond to stroke the moment it happens. For patients and families, that preparation matters more than you might realize. Stroke interventions are time-sensitive — some treatment windows close within hours of symptom onset. The faster our teams act, the better the outcome for you. Knowing the BE FAST signs yourself is just as important. Balance changes, vision shifts, face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty — any of these are reasons to call 911, not wait. #StrokeAwareness #MonumentHealth #StrokeAwarenessMonth #BEFASTStroke #HeartAndVascular #PatientCare #KnowTheSigns #HealthEducation #CommunityHealth #RapidCity

What does it take to grow annual Foundation giving from $500,000 to over $6 million in just three years? For Brad Archer, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Monument Health, it started with a simple conviction: physicians have to lead the way. When Dr. Archer joined Monument Health in 2017, he saw an opportunity to strengthen the bond between the health system and the Black Hills community. He helped establish the Foundation Physician Leadership Group — a collective of physicians committed to demonstrating, through their own giving, that Monument Health is worth investing in.
