Box Elder, S.D. (June 26, 2024) – Today, Monument Health began construction on one of two new standalone urgent care locations planned for the Rapid City area. The first new location will be located on a 2.15-acre parcel of land near Liberty Plaza in Box Elder. The clinic will provide urgent care services and primary care services. Another clinic will open in Rapid Valley near Elk Vale Road and Highway 44 in Fall 2025.
These additions will bring the total number of Monument Health urgent care centers to four in the Rapid City area, complementing existing locations at Jackson Blvd., Lacrosse St., and in Custer, Lead-Deadwood, Sturgis, and Spearfish.
“It’s important for Monument Health to invest in our local communities and provide access to high-quality care close to home,” said Mark Schulte, Monument Health Vice President of Operations for the Rapid City Market. “As the needs of the community grow, including supporting the mission at Ellsworth Air Force Base, Monument Health remains committed to being a trusted partner in ensuring the health and well-being of our neighbors.”
As a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, Monument Health is also proud to be a Network Provider for TRICARE members which means military personnel and their families can receive necessary care without traveling far, an advantage when services are unavailable at VA or Air Force base medical facilities.
