About Our Hospital Facility
Coteau Health Care System is a 25-bed, critical access, acute care, community
non-profit hospital. We serve approximately 21,000 residents in the Glacial
Lakes Region in Northeast South Dakota as well as West Central Minnesota.
CDP Health Care System owns and operates the attached certified rural
health clinic in Sisseton; the Browns Valley Clinic in Browns Valley,
Minnesota; and the Rosholt Clinic in Rosholt, South Dakota.
The hospital opened in 1967, and in 1996, a 14,000 square foot new addition
and remodeling project—which cost $2.4 million—was completed.
In 2000, we also completed a $400,000 clinic expansion and remodeling
project. The latest project included a multimillion-dollar renovation
and expansion effort that took place in 2013. This 22,000 square-foot
addition was necessary in order to support a growing number of patient
visits, and included a new clinic, an emergency room, birthing suites,
a laboratory, and a radiology department.
Our Mission
At Coteau Health Care System, we are passionate about the work we do. We
