Our goals are to identify the services most suited for employees and to address health problems in the workplace. At the request of area employers, an Occupational Health Clinic is being established at Avera Queen of Peace Hospital to provide work-related injury and illness care, as well as additional services to meet the health care needs of business and industry. It is anticipated that the new Avera Queen of Peace Occupational Health Clinic will open late spring of 2001. The Education Services Department at Avera Queen of Peace provides a variety of patient education including diabetes, ostomy care, CPR, and subcutaneous injections. Individual sessions with specially trained professionals are scheduled upon physician referral on an inpatient or outpatient basis.
Family members are welcome to take part in the education.
