A Way to Give Back

The Brookings Health System Foundation recently implemented the MyThanks Matters grateful patient program in support of patient’s desires to say thank you to our team members for the care they received while at Brookings Health System.

This program presents patients the opportunity to give back by whichever means best suits them.
