Eureka Community Health Services sits at 200 J Ave in Eureka, South Dakota, and people can find many healthcare services all in one place, like hospital care, a clinic, assisted living, nursing home care, emergency room help, and home and public health support, so it's handy for those needing different types of help, and they do make sure everyone can get there, because they've got accessible parking, elevators, and restrooms, which makes moving around pretty easy for most folks. The nursing home, called Avera Eureka Health Care Center, gives long-term support, while assisted living is also available, and for people who want to stay in their own homes but need some help, home health and public health services cover things like child health checks, immunizations, blood pressure checks, shots, TB skin tests, and blood sugar tests, and they'll help with hearing and vision screenings too.
You can see doctors or use the hospital, and the emergency room's got modern equipment if something sudden happens, plus the Eureka Medical Clinic handles regular checkups and family medicine. Outpatient care includes family medicine, internal medicine, sleep medicine for sleep apnea, and specialty care like Ob-Gyn, orthopedic surgery, dentistry, and vision care, which is provided by Vision Care and Ophthalmology Associates with Dr. Craig Dockter. People looking for extra help can see speech therapists at Pruskowski Speech Therapy, chiropractors at Eureka Chiropractic Clinic with Dr. Jeff Wolff and Dr. Mark Bledsoe, or use occupational or physical therapy services. There's treatment for health conditions like fibromyalgia, anxiety, ADHD, diabetes, high blood pressure, skin problems, and back pain, as well as numerous surgical procedures such as colonoscopy, cataract surgery, knee or shoulder replacement, Mohs surgery, hernia repair, pain management, and angioplasty.
For families and children, there are Child and Family Services, offering WIC help, nutrition and breastfeeding support, healthy foods, immunizations, school screenings, and referrals, with Medicaid, TANF, and Food Stamp assistance services to help with costs, since services often use income guidelines. Community health nurses and homemaking support are on hand for the folks who need a little extra care at home. Reviews and hospital performance data are available online through Healthgrades, so people can check safety ratings on things like infection rates, pressure sore prevention, and preventing falls or accidents, and hospital staff dedicate themselves to making sure patients are safe, even with things like keeping track of foreign objects in surgery and using peer-reviewed guidelines for staff training.
