As we navigate the ever-changing healthcare landscape the South Dakota Health Link Fall Forum brings together professionals from across the state to share cutting-edge knowledge and strategies that our members are implementing within their organization.

South Dakota Health Link will have a limited number of spaces available to members and partners organizations to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Fall Forum agenda.  Proposals should showcase how Health Link improves care, outcomes, or processes, or features collaborations among stakeholders.  We encourage all Health Link members to submit proposals to showcase their innovative use cases and strategies.
