Sharing, Caring and Keeping Our Community Healthier – Together

Coteau des Prairies (CDP) Health Care System and Tekakwitha Living Center have been essential community assets for decades, yet many people don’t realize they operate as nonprofits. That’s why each facility depends on the support of a fundraising arm, or “foundation,” that secures funding for the expansion of facilities and enhancement of services.

While CDP Health Care System and Tekakwitha Living Center foundations operate as two separate nonprofit organizations, they share a common goal: to help ensure everyone in Sisseton and the surrounding areas has access to quality local care – through every stage of life.

Why do people donate?

Stories like these inspire caring community members to support CDP Health Care System and Tekakwitha Living Center foundations through much-needed donations:

  • The entire staff went above and beyond to care for my dad. Their compassion helped us through a very difficult time and won’t soon be forgotten.
  • When my husband was weak and needed a lot of care, CDP’s swing bed program provided extra time for him to recover. It really exceeded our expectations – helping him regain his strength after surgery so he could return home safely.
  • The CDP birthing center staff helped put us at ease as first-time parents. From the family-centered care we received to the comfortable birthing room, everything was perfect for welcoming our new baby!
  • When I recently had a stroke, I realized how fortunate we are to have emergency services right in Sisseton.
  • The staff at Tekakwitha Living Center make my mom feel like she’s being cared for by family; that reassures us that we made the right decision for her.

Whatever reason you choose to give, you can be assured that 100% of all donations will be used to benefit our community.
