SPEARFISH, S.D. – Monument Health Spearfish Hospital has been chosen as a 2024 “TOP 100” Rural & Community Hospital by The Chartis Group. The Chartis Group is a comprehensive healthcare advisory firm, and each year they unveil the Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals. From that list, the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) recognized Spearfish Hospital as a “Top 20” Rural & Community Hospital in America.
