Dakota Hospital Foundation is committed to its mission dedicated to community health and wellness.

DEDICATED TO COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELLNESS - A foundation that gives back. Since its beginning in 1930, Dakota Hospital Foundation has fulfilled a mission of improving the health of the individuals and communities in our area. The health care 'pioneers' who established Dakota Hospital Foundation (DHF) also nurtured a tradition of community health service leadership represented by today's Foundation members. Over the last 90+ years, Vermillion's hospital has grown into a comprehensive community medical center providing care for the whole family. Together with Sanford Vermillion Medical Center, DHF continues to be dedicated to community health and wellness. All gifts to the Dakota Hospital Foundation are used to further our mission of community health and wellness in these focus areas:
- Clinical Innovation: Seed money to foster and enhance new programs and fund unique services
- Quality of Life: Supporting community projects that enhance the quality of life of our residents, patients, visitors and staff
- Health Care Education: Support of community health and wellness programs and scholarships for health professionals

EVERY GIFT LOOKS DIFFERENT . . .THEY ALL MAKE A HUGE IMPACT.

Dear Community Partners,

Understanding the health needs of our communities is essential to improving quality of life and ensuring resources are directed where they are needed most. While healthcare plays an important role in health outcomes, we understand that care delivery is only one factor impacting health. Non-profit hospitals are required to conduct a community health needs assessment every three years. Health needs identified via the assessment are subsequently addressed in conjunction with community partners. This collaborative process ensures a holistic approach to creating healthier communities. This is not a responsibility we take lightly.

The community health needs assessment is developed in partnership with community stakeholders like you. A key component of the process is a community survey that provides you with an opportunity to share your insights. Your participation is absolutely vital to this process. The more survey responses collected, the more accurate and targeted the solutions can be to address identified health issues.

Please complete the 2026 Community Health Needs Assessment Survey using this link: 2026 Community Health Needs Assessment Survey https://sanford.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_da0yKYeGPYI8Wx0?Q_CHL=qr

· The survey takes about 5-7 minutes to complete and provides valuable insight into the health needs and concerns of our community.

All survey responses are strictly confidential, with no identifying information linked to the responses. Information will be aggregated into trends and themes to develop strategies to help residents live healthier lives.

You can play a key role in shaping the health and wellness of your community by taking and promoting this survey. Thank you for your partnership in this important work!

Sincerely,
Veronica Schmidt
CEO
Sanford Vermillion Medical Center
