SIOUX FALLS, S.D. —Sanford Luverne Medical Center has received the Best ER Wait Time & Efficacy award on the Women’s Choice Award 2025 Best Hospitals Award Report.
“Patients from surrounding, rural areas, rely on the timeliness of our emergency care team at Sanford Luverne,” said Tammy Loosbrock, administrator of Sanford Luverne Medical Center. “Having emergency care available in a rural area like southwest Minnesota is crucial in responding to vehicle accidents, farming accidents and sudden health problems. We are committed to being at the ready when patients need us in emergency situations.”
The Emergency Timeliness award is given to emergency departments that outperform national average measures for time spent in the emergency department before leaving as well as the percentage of patients who left the emergency department before being seen.
The Women’s Choice Award for Best Hospitals™ is a credential that identifies the nation’s best hospitals based on robust criteria that includes relevant clinical performance, patient satisfaction and appropriate accreditations.
