The Avera Heart Hospital's Emergency Department is also an accredited chest pain center... the only one is South Dakota.

As part of the accreditation process, they run a drill every year to keep with protocol and test their time from getting the patient from the E.R. to the Cath Lab.

Heart Hospital Emergency Medicine Physician and the director of the chest pain center Dr. John Jerstad talks about the process.
