Our annual feature of 700 physicians in 76 specialties
Orthopedic surgeon Robert Eastlack

Biotech companies Illumina and Edico just helped Rady Children’s Hospital break a Guinness World Record for fastest genome sequencing. Our community is on the front lines of integrative practices. We’re developing unique cross-border programs with our neighbors in Mexico. And we’re crusaders for the wellness of our growing Baby Boomer population. Has there ever been a better time to live, breathe, and be healthy in SD?
