Not only do our health systems provide the best care to our citizens, but South Dakota is one of the best states to practice medicine, according to a ranking by WalletHub.
“In order to help doctors decide where to practice, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 19 key metrics,” the article releasing the findings says. “Our data set ranges from the average annual wage of physicians to hospitals per capita to the quality of the public hospital system.”
