Avera Health Plans

> Avera is a health ministry rooted in the Gospel. Our mission is to make a positive impact in the lives and health of persons and communities by providing quality services guided by Christian values.

> Avera hospitals are committed to providing the best, clinically proven care. That's why we are advocates for greater transparency in clinical quality for hospitals across the nation. Avera facilities rank among the nation's best in delivery of care and in patient-centered care, and the outcomes are reported in the Avera Annual Quality Report.

> As a regionally integrated health care delivery network, Avera partners with the communities we serve to improve the health and quality of life for everyone. Avera's philosophy is to collaborate as much as possible with local health care organizations, while centralizing those initiatives that provide the greatest benefit to all.

> We see all people and things entrusted to us as gifts to be used wisely and responsibly, shared charitably and returned graciously to the communities that we serve.
