On Wednesday, the Sioux Falls Health Department and local hospitals presented the report for 2025.
The 2025 Community Health Assessment lists three health priorities over the next three years.
One of them is healthy living and chronic disease prevention.
City of Sioux Falls Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jennifer Tinguely, highlighted obesity, which can lead to other health issues.
'Here in Sioux Falls in our MSA, we do have a very high percentage of our residents living with obesity. Our statistic, it's 37 percent of adults in the MSA do qualify as being obese,' Tinguely said.
Another priority is adolescent mental health.
'In South Dakota, suicide is the leading cause of death in young population, so ages 10-29. The leading cause of death is somebody taking their own life,' Tinguely said.
The third priority is access to care, particularly oral health.
According to the report, roughly a quarter of adults in the Sioux Falls MSA do not get an annual dental visit.
'So dentists in our community. How can we strengthen those efforts whether it's private sector dentists and also we run a dental clinic,' Sioux Falls Health Department Director Joe Kippley said.
Kippley says it will take more than clinicians to address the priorities.
'But other nonprofits, community resources to take a holistic approach to it,' Kippley said.
The report was compiled using surveys, focus groups, and other sources such as the state health department.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Hims & Hers Stock (HIMS) Tanks on Reports of Year-Long FTC Investigation
Telehealth company Hims & Hers Health's (HIMS) business practices have been under investigation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for over a year, Bloomberg reported. Following the news, HIMS stock dropped about 7% in after-hours trading on Thursday, reflecting investor concern over potential regulatory fallout.

The FTC is looking into complaints about the company's advertising claims and allegations that it makes canceling subscriptions difficult for customers. HIMS has not been formally accused of wrongdoing. Earlier in 2023, Hims & Hers had acknowledged that it was 'voluntarily cooperating' with an unspecified FTC inquiry but declined to share details about the scope or nature of the investigation. If the FTC finds violations, Hims & Hers could be fined, forced to change its cancellation rules, or limited in how it advertises. HIMS Rising Legal Troubles The company is facing rising regulatory and legal challenges that have cast a shadow over its recent growth. The recent collapse of Novo Nordisk (NVO) and Hims & Hers' partnership led to multiple class-action lawsuits alleging securities fraud, with investors claiming they were misled about the legality and safety of the promoted treatments. Beyond these, HIMS is under scrutiny for its advertising practices, particularly for compounded prescription drugs. A Super Bowl ad promoting weight-loss consultations drew criticism for failing to disclose risks, prompting regulatory complaints and concern from lawmakers. With this background, it's worth taking a closer look at the company's legal risk profile. The TipRanks' Risk Analysis tool shows that Hims' legal and regulatory risk exposure is higher than the industry average. Legal and regulatory risks account for 23.8% of its total risks, higher than the industry average of 19.4%. Is HIMS Stock a Good Buy? Turning to Wall Street, HIMS stock has a Hold consensus rating based on two Buys, seven Holds, and two Sells assigned in the last three months. At $49.11, the average Hims & Hers stock price target implies a 4.2% upside potential.

Deion Sanders Is One of One — and His Fight Is a Lesson in Purpose
With a kind of joy, sincerity and charisma that can only come from Deion Sanders, Colorado's head coach sat at a press conference on Monday, fighting back tears beside two medical professionals he credited with helping save his life. They told the world that Sanders was diagnosed with bladder cancer earlier this summer, underwent a procedure to remove it after a malignant tumor was found, and is now cancer-free. Dr. Janet Kukreja, director of urological oncology at the University of Colorado Cancer Center, voiced the two words that fans of Coach Prime and Colorado athletics wanted to hear: "It's beaten." For weeks, speculation and rumors had run amok about the health of Sanders, one of the most prominent and ubiquitous figures in the sport. But there was no arguing he'd become reclusive at a moment when coaches were out recruiting and politicking for the game. The 57-year-old Sanders had largely been out of the public eye since the conclusion of spring practice. Sanders' oldest son, Deion Sanders, Jr., was the first and only family member to tell the public that his father was in the midst of a battle he could only reveal so much about, posting a video on social media earlier this month when he was heard saying his father was dealing with a health concern and making it clear that any prayers would be welcomed. For the coach who brought Colorado its first nine-win season since 2016, its first Heisman winner since 1994 and a national presence and relevancy that the program hasn't enjoyed since winning a share of the 1990 national championship, the return of questions about Sanders' health was challenging. This is especially true after Sanders, who had life-saving surgery to remove blood clots just two years ago, signed a contract to stay in Boulder that will see him make more than $10 million annually. However, his sons no longer play football for a team he coaches. Travis Hunter, the 2024 Heisman winner, is at NFL training camp with the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Sanders were to walk away and manage his health, even for a little while, the sport would've felt his absence. After all, there is not another coach in the country who could succeed in hosting his own talk show on Tubi, earn late-night television spots during the offseason to promote his book and coach a program at the Power 4 level. We know this is true because he's the only person who has done it. Just like he is the only person to play in the World Series and the Super Bowl. Just like he's the only Power 4 coach to begin his career as a college football head coach without a single stop as an assistant at the NFL or college level. Sanders is one of a kind. He is unique. He is truly one of one. However, from the first week of May through the last week of July, Sanders only met the obligations he had to, including an appearance at Big 12 Media Days, where he dismissed questions about his health and mustered a robust argument for a salary cap in college football. "I'm not here to talk about my health," Sanders said at Big 12 Media Days. "I'm here to talk about my team." He did that, while breaking protocol in the process. Traditionally, coaches who are overseeing a QB competition elect not to bring either, allowing folks who write and talk about the sport for a living to draw their own conclusions. Instead, he brought both Kaidon Salter and Julian Lewis, setting the narrative that he truly feels good about either of them starting Week 1 against Georgia Tech. And he did all of that while recovering from the kind of surgery that can be life-threatening, making the decision not to tell anyone outside a close group of family and friends about it. "I'm truly thankful that God is so good," Sanders said as he stared up at the sky, put his hands in a prayer position and took a deep pause to gather himself. "You have no idea how good God has been for me to be here." Sanders got to tell his story, but I hope he won't forget that only he has the ability to call a news conference on a Monday afternoon in late July to tell the world about his fight with cancer, and we all came running. I hope he will remember we were here to celebrate his victory with him. Hold him in our prayers, walk through life doing the best we can for each other, live our lives as he has. Coach Prime has lived his life with passion, with drive. He has decided he will make the rest of his life about coaching the sport he played better than almost everybody else who has ever touched a football because he believes it is the best way to reach the most people and develop the best men the world could know. "I always knew I was going to coach again," Sanders said on Monday. "It was never in my spirit, in my heart, that God wouldn't allow me to coach again. (I) never thought like that." Let what Sanders endured over the past couple of months and his ability to find purpose in everything he does serve as a reminder to us all. This life we live can feel unbearable, unfair and unkind. It takes from many more than it gives. But, today, we learned once again, it can give back. It can give us back perspective when we can't see past our inconveniences and our tragedies. It can give us purpose if we feel we have no merit, no position to play in its game. It can give us back our heroes when it lays them low so that we might watch them fight back with grace, honor and integrity. Coach Prime, one of the biggest names in college football, has his values personified and his faith displayed constantly. He beat cancer with a full-time job in one of the most pressurized environments sports has to offer. Because of course he did. Because he's Prime.

NFL and Eagles Mourn The Passing Of Super Bowl Champion at 38
NFL and Eagles Mourn The Passing Of Super Bowl Champion at 38 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Eagles fans remember Bryan Braman as part of the championship team that brought home the franchise's first Lombardi Trophy in 2018. And now those memories are mixed with mourning as the former linebacker has lost his battle against a rare and aggressive cancer diagnosis. Braman was 38. Braman's representative, Sean Stellato, recently described the former player's health crisis as 'the fight of his life.'' The agent praised Braman's character, noting how the former player has always embodied the qualities of an underdog who refuses to quit. On Thursday, Stellato posted on social media, "My heart hurts. I love you, Bryan." J.J. Watt, a Braman teammate in Houston, wrote, "Rest in peace, brother. Gone too soon.'' The diagnosis has necessitated intensive medical intervention, including specialized CAR T-cell therapy that Braman received in Seattle. This cutting-edge treatment represents one of the most advanced approaches to fighting certain types of cancer, though it comes with significant physical and financial costs. According to close friend Williams Jones, who organized a crowdfunding campaign to support Braman's medical expenses, the treatment journey was particularly challenging. The combination of chemotherapy and surgical procedures has compromised Braman's immune system, making recovery between treatments difficult. This has created a concerning cycle in which the cancer continues to advance while Braman's body struggles to bounce back. Most troubling is the disease's progression toward vital organs — a development that has prompted Braman and his medical team to explore experimental treatment options. Jones emphasized that despite the setbacks, Braman remains determined and continues researching alternative therapies. The fundraising campaign has drawn remarkable support from the football community, raising nearly $90,000 and surpassing its original target. Among the notable contributors was Watt, who donated $10,000. Watt and Braman share a special bond, having both joined the Texans as rookies in 2011 — though their paths to the NFL were vastly different. Braman's professional football career spanned seven seasons, with his most memorable years coming in Philadelphia. After joining the Eagles in 2014, he became a reliable special teams contributor, appearing in 51 games across three and a half seasons. His career culminated in Super Bowl LII, where he recorded a special teams tackle in the Eagles' thrilling 41–33 victory over the New England Patriots. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 17, 2025, where it first appeared.
