RAPID CITY, S.D. – Today, Monument Health began construction on a health care campus that will include a free-standing Emergency Department along the Interstate 90 corridor. The one-story, 16,750 square-foot facility will be equipped with full laboratory services, X-ray services, a CT scan, a covered ambulance garage, one trauma room, eight emergency exam rooms and two inpatient rooms.
“As emergency medicine specialists, we’re excited to bring the same level of expert care available at Rapid City Hospital to this new location,” said Brook Eide, M.D., Emergency Department Chair, Monument Health Rapid City Hospital. “This facility will allow us to provide critical emergency services to more patients, closer to where they live and work.”
“This location and facility allows Monument Health space and infrastructure to continue growing to meet the needs of our community,” said Paulette Davidson, Monument Health President and CEO. “The space provides additional land for multi-phased construction with infrastructure to allow for additional stories to be added to the building. If a second story is deemed necessary in the future, an additional 20 inpatient rooms could be added.”
“This new facility represents our ongoing commitment to expanding access to high-quality healthcare throughout the Black Hills region. The Mall Drive Campus will ensure residents and visitors along the I-90 corridor have immediate access to emergency care when they need it most,” said Paulette.
Construction is set to complete on the Mall Drive Campus in summer 2026.
