The history of this health care system traces back to 1878 when the Sisters of the Holy Cross opened a hospital in the gold rush mining camp of Deadwood, while other communities constructed hospitals of their own. In 1979, Rapid City’s two hospitals, St. John’s McNamara Hospital and Bennett-Clarkson Memorial Hospital merged into the Rapid City Regional Hospital . Monument Health is now composed of five hospitals in addition to over 40 medical clinics and specialty centers throughout Belle Fourche, Buffalo, Custer, Deadwood, Hill City, Hot Springs, Lead, Spearfish, Sturgis, and Wall. “We’re committed to and live each day by our five priorities: deliver high-quality care, provide a caring experience, be a great place to work, impact our communities, and be here for generations to come,” stated Maser.
