The DOH has worked closely with Horizon Healthcare within the Family Planning program, where they have been able to expand services to nine Horizon Healthcare locations. Additionally, Horizon Healthcare has been a key partner within the Health Information Exchange (HIE) program, providing valuable data and testing support.

The DOH team was at Horizon Healthcare’s headquarters in Howard, SD on March 29 to present the Partner in Health award in person and acknowledge the many ways Wade Erickson and his team have worked to improve the lives of South Dakotans.
