Same Day Surgery space grows
The first phase of our overall surgery remodeling project has been completed. Avera St. Luke's new Same Day Surgery, with 22 patient rooms and a spacious post-surgery recovery area, is now open in the hospital's southeast addition.
Patients will find a beautiful and comfortable waiting room, a separate pediatric playroom, two private family-physician consultation rooms, efficient and well-place nursing stations. Each private room has an adjacent bathroom. There are seven operating suites, each designed for special surgical procedures. A miminally invasive operating suite has an advanced surgical camera system.
The second phase of the surgery remodeling project will involve the surgery suites themselves, which will occur behind-the-scenes. It's another exciting enhancement to our surgery services and the quality care we offer.

Avera St. Luke's Healthcare Plaza
Avera St. Luke’s new Healthcare Plaza, located at 820 First Ave. S.E. in Aberdeen, SD, features 17,000 square feet of space for medical office suites and a free-standing imaging center in a 
strip mall style, with convenient parking located next to the building.
The first space to be occupied is Avera St. Luke’s Imaging Center. Designed with the needs of outpatients in mind, the center offers a full spectrum of the latest technology found in medical imaging equipment, including a CT scanner, ultrasound, bone densitometry (DEXA) and general radiology (X-ray) - plus full-field, direct digital mammography, the first equipment of this kind in the region.
As a regional center for medical services, Avera St. Luke’s provides diagnostic exams for more than 50,000 people each year, with about 60 percent of those for outpatients.
Southeast Hospital Addition
Avera St. Luke's southeast addition houses our Intensive Care Unit; the BirthPlace, our new maternity unit; and two physician clinics on the second floor, North Central Heart Institute and Obstetrics & Gynecology Associates of Aberdeen. Construction of a new Same Day Surgery on the first floor was completed in early 2009.
The new ICU on the third floor connects to our existing third-floor Medical Unit, and includes a large family lounge area. The BirthPlace, a state-of-the-art maternity unit on the fourth floor, features 12 spacious, private rooms that surround a central nursery and a rainbow-shaped window for viewing the "Small Miracles."
The first floor also serves as a new clinic entrance and includes a foyer, staircase and elevators.
Physical & Aquatic Therapy Center
Avera St. Luke's new Physical & Aquatic Therapy Center offers a wide range of therapy services to the people of this region, featuring the region's only large-size warm water therapy pool.
Even though our building is connected to the Northeast Regional Health and Fitness Center, we’re a separate entity with no membership required. The Physical & Aquatic Therapy Center is a department of Avera St. Luke’s Hospital, located at an offsite location at 721 First Ave. S.E. in Aberdeen, SD.
We invite you to take a look at our warm water therapy pool and check out our new space and equipment. Our entire facility is handicapped accessible, including family changing rooms.
