Avera leaders, including President and CEO Jim Dover, traveled to O'Neill, NE, to assess the damage at Avera St. Anthony's Hospital after an explosion near the campus on Monday. While the hospital will need repairs, we are grateful no one was seriously injured. A big thank you to our incredible staff for their ongoing work, including Dr. Brian Jundt, a family medicine physician at Avera St. Anthony's who was on scene as a volunteer firefighter for O'Neill. The entire team's dedication to the community is truly remarkable.
