South Dakota Perinatal Association

Touching the Future with Perinatal Education

The History of SDPA

In October of 1977, the South Dakota Perinatal Association (SDPA) held its initial business meeting and elected its first officers and Board of Directors.
The SDPA exists to provide educational programs to hospitals and health care professionals throughout the state.
An annual Perinatal conference is sponsored in the fall, which provides educational updates on a variety of Perinatal health care topics. The SDPA encourages the development of relationships for mutual assistance to improve health care delivery to pregnant women and newborn infants.
