Avera McKennan Hospital In Sioux Falls Buys 69 Properties

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Officials at Avera McKennan Hospital say they’ve acquired almost 70 residential properties south of their Sioux Falls campus in case they want to expand further.

The hospital purchased 69 residential properties south of the hospital campus between 23rd and 26th Streets and 7th and Cliff Avenues in Sioux Falls. It acquired the properties from Sioux Falls Surgical Physicians LLC.

Officials say they do not have any immediate plans to expand their campus.

Thomas Bosch is the vice president of hospital at Avera McKennan Hospital and University Health Center. Bosch says it’s important to own property for future expansion when a hospital campus is located in the middle of a city.

Fifty-four of the properties are rentals of which Avera McKennan will assume management. Fifteen others are vacant lots.
