As a part of a national initiative, South Dakota Public Broadcasting is seeking nominations for local Champions of Change – individuals, groups, or institutions that are dedicated to improving health care quality. Issues being tackled by your nominees should relate directly to the overarching theme of quality health care improvement. Most importantly, the nominee should demonstrate how a particular issue was addressed and the positive impact this activity had on a local community. Those nominated to be South Dakota Champions of Change will receive public recognition for their efforts to improve the health care in our state. For more information about Champions of Change contact: Sherri Rodgers at SDPB; P.O. Box 5000; Vermillion, SD; 57069-5000.
