bullet  Critical Access Hospital - Fall River Hospital is one of 38 Critical Access Hospitals in the state of South Dakota. Hot Springs is the only Critical Access Hospital that was developed from the ground up which did not have a current hospital license to convert. This is a feat which speaks of the commitment and desire of our community for primary health services. The purpose of the critical access program in South Dakota is to maintain and improve access to essential health service in rural areas. The hospital is licensed by the state and certified by Medicare and Medicaid.

bullet  Medicare Swing Bed Program - Swing Bed is a Medicare-covered program for Medicare beneficiaries who have had a three-day hospital stay and require on-going monitoring and rehabilitative therapy. It is called a "swing" bed because your physician can swing your level of care from acute to skilled nursing care while you remain in the hospital. Should you require acute hospital care again, your Doctor can "swing" your bed back to acute care.

bullet  Fall River Hosptial is currently a 25-bed medical facility.
