St. Cloud Hospital’s care is among the best, according to annual report
Thursday, July 02, 2009
When Nick Heltemas needed medical help, he turned to St. Cloud Hospital.
The spry 72-year-old from St. Joseph often walks inside Crossroads Center for his health before the stores open, but he went to St. Cloud Hospital for a colonoscopy.
“I was treated good. They were prompt and took good care of me. They answer your questions,” said Heltemas, as he barely slowed down to take a turn during his morning walk on Thursday.

Nurses ponder new role in prevention
Thursday, July 02, 2009
NORTHFIELD – Nurses in rural areas say Vermont stands on the cusp of a health care revolution that could change the way small hospitals serve their patients and communities.
The focus on traditional care – procedures for treatment — is shifting to a new emphasis on prevention.
A panel of nurse executives from “critical access” hospitals in Vermont and New Hampshire met with students at Norwich University on Tuesday to discuss a coming “transformation” in the profession. Reforms afoot at both the federal and state levels, nurses said, will dramatically shift the role nurses and hospitals play in patient care.

S.D. may be model in health care push
Thursday, July 02, 2009
It’s clear from the skyline of Sioux Falls - where health care fuels much of the economy - that sweeping changes to the nation’s health care landscape could leave an imprint on the city.
On one side of town, a new Sanford Children’s Hospital gleams during the day and blue lights fill the night sky. To the east, cranes tower over Avera McKennan Hospital and University Health Center, where green lights glow.
As Congress and the White House embark on a monthslong process aimed at reforming the nation’s health care system, the effects of whatever new model emerges could be more pronounced here than in many other American cities, observers say.
