Nov. 10 -15 is Perioperative Nurses Week! 💜🩺

Perioperative nurses are the skilled professionals who care for patients before, during, and after surgery. From prepping patients and ensuring safety in the operating room to supporting recovery in same-day surgery, they are essential to every step of the surgical journey. Their expertise, steady hands, and compassionate care help make surgical experiences smoother, safer, and less stressful for patients and their families.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to Brookings Health System’s incredible perioperative nurses who serve in our Same-Day Surgery department. Your dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to exceptional patient care make a meaningful difference every single day. 💜✨

Thank you for all you do to provide high-quality, compassionate, personalized healthcare! 👏💜

🤰 A woman’s body is naturally designed to grow a baby and give birth. The following stretches and exercises are all beneficial to the mother-to-be and the baby in preparation for birth. Mobility and lengthening of muscles are key.

✨ Three Balances 👉 Check out this link! https://www.brookingshealth.org/services/obstetrics/physiologic-birth-support

✨ Use an exercise ball to motion the hips in circular movements. Start out with small circles and change into larger circles when ready. Make sure the belly button is horizontal facing and hips are above knees.

✨ PSOAS Stretch – The PSOAS muscle (major hip flexor) can be stretched in a variety of ways, including kneeling, lunging, and on the back. Be sure to complete on each side. This helps improve hip mobility and can contribute to a more comfortable birth.

✨ Use a curb, stair, or stool and always go at your own pace. Be mindful about your breathing. Complete this on each leg and do as many times as needed.

✨ Walking or slow dancing in labor can loosen muscles, manage pain, improve mood, and encourage labor progress.

🧸💜 These techniques are used to focus on physiology before force. Do these in early labor to prepare for birth!

Our Brookings Ambulance team takes care of our hometowns—and beyond! 🚑 We provide 911 Advanced Life Support (ALS) services for the City of Brookings, much of Brookings County, and the communities of Aurora, Bruce, Bushnell, Sinai, and Volga. We also lend a hand to neighboring ambulance services in Arlington, Clear Lake, Elkton, Estelline, White, and Lake Preston whenever we’re needed.

On Dec. 2, the South Dakota Day of Giving, you can help us continue this life-saving work. Our goal: 500 people giving $20 each to purchase a new advanced life support ambulance.

💜 Thanks to Medary Acres Greenhouse , the first $10,000 donated will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact!

Today, on Veteran’s Day, we honor and express our profound gratitude to all who have served our country.

At Brookings Health System, we are especially proud to participate in the We Honor Veterans program—a partnership of the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs—which guides and equips our hospice professionals and volunteers to respectfully serve veterans in our community.

Through this initiative, our team learns to offer compassionate listening, respectful inquiry, and grateful acknowledgement to those who’ve borne the heavy responsibility of military service.

Additionally, our Veteran-to-Veteran Volunteer Program matches veteran volunteers with veteran hospice patients—a meaningful way to build connection, foster healing, and honor the shared experiences of service.

Learn more about these services on our website: https://www.brookingshealth.org/WeHonorVeterans

To our veterans—past, present, and future—thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and your service. We see you, we appreciate you, and today we stand with you.
