The South Dakota Department of Health (DOH) is taking steps to improve the health of South Dakota residents by evaluating and improving the public health system. Developing a State Health Improvement Plan will allow the DOH to better serve South Dakota communities through continuous quality improvement, multi-sector partnerships, accountability to external stakeholders, workforce enhancement, utilization of resources, and focus on community health.
A Priority Health Indicator Assessment is being distributed to community and healthcare stakeholders who connect with every population and geographic region in the state. Responses from the assessment will be used to facilitate discussion and gather additional community feedback.
