The South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations (SDAHO) strives to support its members through advocacy efforts at the local, state and federal level by providing one unified voice in sustaining and enhancing access to community-focused health services across the continuum of care.  Advocacy is our number one priority and we visit Washington DC and our federal delegation frequently to represent health care providers in South Dakota.  We work closely with our national partners on federal priorities to reduce regulatory burden and ensure our rural challenges are recognized. Our federal partners include American Hospital Association (AHA), LeadingAge, National Rural Health Association (NRHA) and the National Alliance for Care at Home.
