🍎✏️ The first day of school is almost here!

Whether you're sending your little one off for the very first time or watching a seasoned student head back to the classroom, the first day can bring a mix of excitement, nerves, and maybe even a few tears—for kids and parents alike.

It's okay to feel nervous—most kids (and even teachers!) feel that way. One of the best ways to ease those first-day jitters is to have a conversation before they walk through the school doors.

💬 We've attached some conversation starters to use before or after the first day of school. Here's to a school year filled with growth and confidence! ❤️📚

Happy National Relaxation Day! 🌿🎣
One of the best parts of living in Pierre is having incredible places to unwind right in our backyard. Whether it's casting a line on Lake Oahe, watching the Missouri River while walking a trail on LaFramboise Island, or simply enjoying a South Dakota sunset, taking time to relax in nature is good for the mind, body, and soul.
Today we're celebrating the beauty that surrounds us and encouraging everyone to get outside, slow down, and recharge.

Our first-year residents are settling into life in Sioux Falls and off to a great start! 🎉

🗓️ The first month of residency is dedicated to an engaging and productive Resident Boot Camp, where our interns build confidence while sharpening procedural skills and getting up to speed on hospital workflows. It's a busy month meant to set the residents up for success from day one.

🤜🏼🤛🏼We believe great family physicians are built through hands-on learning, supportive mentorship, and a team that is invested in your growth. We're excited to watch this class develop into exceptional physicians over the next three years!

🏌🏼‍♀️ A couple of our residents have been hitting the golf course in Pierre this summer. A little time on the golf course is about more than improving a swing—it's about connection and recharging.
We believe resident wellness matters, and opportunities like this help build stronger physicians and stronger teams. Proud to support a culture where caring for our residents is just as important as training them. ⛳️
