Winner Regional Health Center

What Winner Regional Health Center does

Winner Regional Health Center is a community-owned, integrated rural healthcare delivery organization headquartered at 745 East 8th Street, Winner, South Dakota. Established in 1950 and governed by a nine-person volunteer Board of Directors, the organization operates a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital, a primary care clinic staffed by two physicians and more than ten advanced practice clinicians, a 40-bed skilled nursing facility (Medicare and VA certified), and a closed-door pharmacy (Winner Family Drug) offering Dispill multi-dose packaging and Med Sync services. Ancillary service lines include outpatient and inpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, wound care, cardiac and respiratory services, diagnostic imaging (40-slice CT, 3D mammography, MRI, ultrasound, bone density, digital X-ray), and a Specialty Outreach Clinic that brings visiting specialists in cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, urology, vascular medicine, maternal/fetal medicine, podiatry, and pulmonology to the campus.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for a rural Critical Access Hospital: a digital imaging system capable of transmitting scans globally for specialist consultation, a Sanford MyChart patient portal, and telemedicine links to Sanford Health specialists in infectious disease, endocrinology, and nephrology. The organization maintains a strategic affiliation with Sanford Health for purchasing, training, and technology access while retaining local ownership, and an affiliated Winner Regional Health & Wellness Foundation (founded January 1991) funds physician recruitment, equipment, and facility expansion through community events and $2,500 healthcare scholarships.

Revenue is generated across five main streams: hospital services (inpatient, outpatient, emergency, surgery, imaging) billed to Medicare, Medicaid, VA, and private insurers; long-term care resident contracts under Medicare/VA certification; specialty outreach and therapy services billed as professional services; closed-door pharmacy revenue from chronic condition medication management for LTC residents and chronic care patients; and ancillary wound care. Patients access care through the campus facility, with patient acquisition driven by physician referrals, community outreach, and the specialty outreach model that reduces the need for patients to travel two to three hours to larger metropolitan hospitals. Marketing is conducted through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok), health education blog content, and community events.
