AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Health Care Deal: Sanford Health and North Memorial Health have signed a definitive merger agreement, aiming to create a combined nonprofit system and invest about $600 million into North Memorial’s Robbinsdale/Maple Grove hospitals—framed as a way to protect local access as costs and pressures rise. Water Watch: The Bureau of Reclamation has been ramping up Pactola outflows multiple times this week, more than doubling releases since early May as Rapid City navigates worsening drought conditions and shifting downstream demands. State Benefits: South Dakota is revisiting last year’s proposed changes to TANF benefits and hospital payment methods after public backlash; hearings happened Friday, with comments open until May 25. Public Health & Safety: A South Dakota Human Services Center employee was named Employee of the Month, while a Rapid City dispatcher story highlights how coaching callers can be lifesaving—from CPR to childbirth. Community Health: Vermillion’s water system earned a Drinking Water Certificate of Achievement, and a new Sioux Falls nursing facility expands training capacity.
