Established in Rapid City. Committed to Your Care.

Same Day Surgery Center is a community-focused surgical specialty hospital dedicated to your health and comfort. Whether you’re here for outpatient surgery, inpatient surgery, or an extended stay, our team is committed to providing personalized, high-quality care.

Located at 651 Cathedral Drive in Rapid City, South Dakota, our facility is proudly owned by local physicians in partnership with Monument Health. This ownership model means your care is guided by doctors who live and practice in this community.

Our Mission is to provide compassionate, expert surgical care in a safe and comfortable environment, tailored to each patient's needs.

More Than Same-Day Care

Our name tells part of our story, but not all of it. While we excel at outpatient procedures that allow you to return home the same day, we also offer inpatient and extended stay services in six private, comfortable rooms.

You can stay right here, in a calm, quiet environment where our nursing staff provides care throughout your recovery.

A True Alternative to Traditional Hospitals

In the past, patients had few choices for surgical care. Same Day Surgery Center specialty hospital introduces a new option – advanced surgery with the comfort and convenience of a smaller setting. We provide an efficient, high-quality alternative that combines medical excellence with personalized attention.

With advances in medical technologies, medications, and anesthetics, many procedures that once required traditional hospital stays can now be performed safely and efficiently in our state-of-the-art facility. We provide the same level of surgical expertise and safety you’d expect from a hospital, but in a more personalized, less intimidating setting.
