Alan Padgett

After suffering a severe stroke, Alan Padgett faced seemingly insurmountable challenges. When he arrived at the Rehabilitation and Critical Care Hospital of the Black Hills, he required constant monitoring and support. He could not eat solid foods, stand or walk without assistance, use his right arm, or speak more than a word or two. However, Alan's determination led to an inspiring recovery!

Keaunu Eagle Chasing

When Keaunu Eagle Chasing was found unresponsive at home, his condition was dire. Rushed to Monument Health Rapid City Hospital, he required life-saving care, including ventilation support and, later, a tracheostomy to assist his breathing. To continue his treatment and begin a ventilator weaning program, Keaunu was transferred to the Rehabilitation and Critical Care Hospital of the Black Hills—a new specialty hospital in Rapid City. Given his need for complex, around-the-clock medical care for an extended period, our critical care unit was well-suited to support Keaunu’s recovery.
