Centennial Webpage and Historical Timeline Now Live
The South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations (SDAHO) is proud to officially celebrate 100 years as an association. In 2026, SDAHO marks this historic milestone, launching our centennial theme: A Century Strong: Honoring Our Past, Shaping Our Future.
For a century, SDAHO has stood alongside South Dakota’s health care organizations—advocating, educating, and empowering communities to thrive. This centennial year is not only a celebration of our history, but also a renewed commitment to advancing healthy communities through a unified voice.
Throughout 2026, members and the public will have access to a wide variety of 100th Anniversary content, all available now on the SDAHO 100th Anniversary webpage, including:
- Stories of Yesterday – A tribute video highlighting 100 years of health care through the voices of those who lived it, sharing memories, milestones, and defining moments.
- 100th Anniversary Commemorative Book – Now available for purchase.
- SDAHO’s 100-Year Timeline – An interactive look at the association’s history and impact.
- Upcoming In-Person Events – A schedule of events where 100th Anniversary memorabilia will be presented.
- Historical Images – A carousel of photos submitted by SDAHO members, celebrating a century of care and collaboration.
In addition, watch for SDAHO’s traveling centennial exhibit, featuring life-size banners and images that visually showcase the association’s history and evolution.
Finally, look for A Century Strong: From the SDAHO Vault—a monthly historical article highlighting stories from the past, pulled from health care and historical archives. These features offer a meaningful look back for anyone inspired by history.
