COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Community Health Screenings: Monument Health is committed to impacting our communities. It is one of our top priorities. Our goal this year is to provide over 20,000 health screenings to our friends and families in the Black Hills. The focus is to provide preventive care, close to home.
Sports Medicine Coverage: Our Sports Medicine practitioners and certified athletic trainers are Monument Health’s front line to athletes at every level. We work closely with our therapists and physicians in communities throughout the Black Hills.
Volunteerism: Looking for volunteers or new board members? Send community volunteer opportunities to community@monument.health.
Special Rodeo: Twice a year Monument Health puts on a Special Rodeo for individuals in our community with disabilities.

Health Risk Assessments
Understanding your health starts with knowing your risk.
Are you ready to take the first step toward prevention? Discover your current risk for diabetes, depression and anxiety—because awareness is the key to taking control of your well-being.

Community Heart Hub
In partnership with the American Heart Association, Monument Health is proud to be setting up Community Heart Hubs in our community—a free, accessible space dedicated to heart health.
The first Community Heart Hub is located within the Rapid City Public Library.
