  • Dental Hygiene provides services at reduced fees at clinics in Sioux Falls and Vermillion  
  • Occupational Therapy provides work place assessments for employers as well as assessments for nursing homes and other health care agencies       
  • Physical Therapy annually provides free services internationally as well as at various locations in South Dakota
