These organizations provide services principally in eastern South Dakota and surrounding states. Avera Health provides management consulting, fund raising and other administrative services to the hospitals, long-term health care facilities, clinics, services and programs that are sponsored or otherwise affiliated with the Sisters.Avera eCARE is a visionary care delivery model that provides rural health care professionals around-the-clock access to specialty care physicians, nurses and pharmacists. Using advanced communication technology, eCARE supports rural facilities in the provision of evidence-based, high-quality care and offsets workforce shortages in rural communities. eCARE is a natural extension of Avera's Health mission and its century-long commitment to its rural communities to maintain access to quality care close to home. Avera eCARE works with some of the most underserved populations in the United States. This includes frontier populations, long term care residents, Native American Reservations, disabled veterans, and inmates. By bringing high quality, on demand access to specialty care, these unique populations are able to receive care within their home community and in a familiar, culturally appropriate setting. They are treated in coordination with the local practitioners that best understand their ongoing care needs.
