Over the past few years, the growth of specialty hospitals has arisen from the demand of patients, physicians, nurses and payers for a more efficient, cost effective and patient-friendly acute care system. The smaller, more efficient specialty hospitals have a narrow focus and hence, hone a particular expertise.

Surgical specialty hospitals offer a high quality of care. The reason is simple--specialization. The benefits of specialization are clear: low costs due to better efficiencies, low infection rates, low mortality rates, high patient satisfaction, shorter hospital stays, and excellent nurses trained and experienced in the specialty of surgery.

We offer safe care at our hospital. Every nurse employed at Lewis & Clark is ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) certified. Every employee is CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation) certified. Above all, patients tell us they like Lewis & Clark Specialty Hospital because everybody is very friendly, eveything is very clean, and the staff is committed to making the stay comfortable for all.

We have responded to the requests of physicians for an efficient, cost effective and patient-friendly hospital. The Medical Staff is open to any and all qualifying physicians who desire to practice at the hospital. Lewis & Clark is where the physicians have a personal interest in the patients.

Complimenting the Yankton healthcare community, our mission is to provide quality surgical care in a comfortable and family-oriented environment. We strive to improve healthcare standards and promote healthcare unity.

The difference is in the details
