Our own Heather Brewster, Director of Quality & Risk Management was recently awarded the 2024 Quality Professional of the Year award at The South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations’ 98th Annual Convention in Rapid City, SD September 25-28, 2024. Due to responsibilities needing her attention at the hospital, she was unable to attend the annual conference. However, Heather was still celebrated by members of our Administration team, Spirit Squad, and additional staff with an award presentation at our facility.

Brewster holds a bachelor’s degree in nursing from SDSU and worked in the Critical Care Unit at PLHS for ten years prior to her promotion. She believes in safe and compassionate environments for patients. She is a leader in the PLHS organization, and respected among peers and colleagues.

Congratulations Heather!
