State of South Dakota Announces First Round of Rural Health Transformation Requests for Proposals
The State of South Dakota’s Rural Health Transformation (RHT) initiative has released its first round of Request for Proposals (RFP) focused on strengthening rural, tribal, and frontier health care systems through digital health modernization, coordinated delivery of care methods, and project management.
Freedom-Focused Healthcare: It Works
In South Dakota, we know our people. We know they desire flexibility, affordable care, and freedom to make their own choices regarding practitioners, insurance, facilities, and treatment options. I believe that the government’s role in healthcare is to empower, support, and partner – not mandate, control, and lock down.
