A 35 bed comprehensive medical/surgical hospital located in Rosebud, South Dakota, with active obstetric and pediatric departments, the Rosebud IHS Hospital offers a full range of services, including dental, vision, and 24 hour ambulance services. The hospital and several field clinics are staffed by 11 physicians, nurse/midwives, and physician assistants. An optical department and dental care are also offered. The hospital is the primary source of health care for the Rosebud Sioux people, who reside across 20 communities, some of which lie outside the boundaries of the Reservation.
The Rosebud IHS Service Unit has achieved designation as a Baby-Friendly Hospital, which makes it the first hospital to achieve this designation for support of breastfeeding in the Indian Health Service and in the state of South Dakota. Co-administered by the World Health Organization and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative is an evidence-based practice care model designed to protect and promote breastfeeding as the safest, healthiest
way to nourish babies. Hospitals that achieve Baby-Friendly status are committed to promoting and protecting breastfeeding at all stages, including prenatal counseling, inpatient services, and community awareness. Core components of the 10-step initiative promote the benefits of breastfeeding, such as skin-to-skin contact between mom and infant, and non-separation of mother and infant.
As a result of this initiative at Rosebud IHS Hospital, breastfeeding initiation rates are now consistently in the 90th percentile and
exclusive breastfeeding rates have continued to climb. Rosebud's achievement started as a campaign to decrease childhood obesity, through First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move in Indian Country initiative. Rosebud IHS Hospital is one of less than 5 percent of U.S. hospitals nationally designated as Baby-Friendly.
