More events to come, so be sure to check back in the days ahead!

Avera McKennan Events

A Tai Chi Flow class will be offered on Tuesdays from noon-12:30 p.m. on the hospital lawn, south of the cafeteria, June 16-September 1. It’s FREE and offers great benefits such as increased strength and flexibility, energy, relaxation, mental clarity and more. Expect a relaxing, meditative movement experience that will calm your mind, challenge your body, and move your spirit.

The new Sculpture Walk pieces are up Downtown and at Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center! Walking through the hospital to view the 16 sculptures of the Avera McKennan Sculpture Walk covers 1 mile, at 1987 steps burning an estimated 97 calories! Pick up a Sculpture Walk brochure & map from any sculpture pedestal in the walkways of Avera McKennan, and don’t forget to vote for the “People’s Choice Award!”
