PrEP is a preventive medication that, when used correctly, greatly reduces HIV risk—though it doesn’t protect against other STIs. Condoms remain one of the most reliable ways to prevent both HIV and other STIs. Ask a provider about HIV testing, PrEP, and other prevention options.
SD voters have spoken. Medicaid expansion will remain in the SD Constitution as voters approved it in 2022—without contingency. Amendment I, which was defeated by over 56% of voters.
CHAD is proud to have been a part of the successful effort to protect Medicaid expansion.

Health centers use every dollar of 340B savings to support and expand services for patients.
340B helps us:
✔️ Keep clinics open;
✔️ Expand behavioral health;
✔️ Provide affordable medications;
✔️ Reach rural communities;
✔️ Provide transportation for patients;
✔️ and more!
When times are tough, every health care decision matters. In 2022, South Dakota voters passed a law that changed the state constitution, so Medicaid would cover low-income adults. Vote to keep what was already decided. Learn more: communityhealthcare.net/medi…
Protect 340B. Protect patient care. The bipartisan 340B Rebate Model Delay Act (H.R. 10770) would pause the rebate model for two years and preserve upfront drug discounts for safety-net providers.
We're asking Congress to protect and strengthen the 340B program while opposing policies like the proposed rebate model that would make it harder for health centers to care for patients. CHAD urges Congress to support the bill. @RepJulieFedorchak @RepDustyJohnson

Health coverage doesn't just affect what happens at the doctor's office.
When people can get care, they're better able to work, care for their families, and participate in their communities.
That's why Medicaid matters beyond the people who are enrolled.

Medicaid isn't only about health insurance. It also plays a role in supporting the health care system across the Dakotas.
When people have coverage, health care providers are better able to serve their patients and communities.
