What We Support
Cancer Care Institute
The Monument Health John T. Vucurevich Cancer Care Institute (CCI) uses the best and most current practices and research to continue delivering the highest quality patient care. Many fundraising projects and events throughout the year help CCI continually review and update its techniques and technologies to provide leading-edge diagnostics and cancer therapies. Your support and participation not only benefit CCI, but also serve as a thoughtful way to honor those members of our Black Hills area communities whose lives have been impacted by cancer.

Learn MoreChildren’s Miracle Network
Right now at Monument Health hospitals, caregivers are working to save the lives of kids in your community. Every day, children enter our hospitals for treatment – thousands of kids each year. Some are battling cancer. Some suffer from a traumatic injury. Others require constant care because they were born too early or with a genetic disease. Regardless of why the kids are here, our Children’s Miracle Network hospitals always have their doors open.
