ELLSWORTH AIR FORCE BASE, S.D. (AP) — A Virginia-based in-home health care company has signed a lease for space at Ellsworth Air Force Base in western South Dakota.

The Governor’s Office of Economic Development says Advance Health will open its third location in the nation at the base. The company is the first one in South Dakota to take advantage of a federal program allowing private businesses to lease underutilized real property.

Advance Health provides health assessments and care coordination to seniors and other people in vulnerable health. Health professionals associated with the company deliver care directly into people’s homes.

The company expects to fill over 200 jobs during the next three to five years.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard says comprehensive health care and services will be in higher demand as the state’s population continues to age.
