Answering the Call
  Avera’s roots stretch back to the frontier
     of medicine of the Benedictine and
  Presentation Sisters; who were called to
  provide health care in Dakota Territory in
1897. This tradition of caring continues today:

  “Avera is a health ministry rooted in the
  Gospel. Our mission is to make a positive
impact in the lives and health of persons and
 communities by providing quality services
        guided by Christian Values.”
