“I am excited and grateful for this opportunity to use my skills and experiences to make an even greater impact on our organization and community,” said Rieger. “I look forward to working with the directors and teams, providing help, support and direction to help them continue providing excellent care.”

Rieger and her husband, Rob, who is the City of Huron water/sewer superintendent, live in Huron and have two grown sons: Jake, who works for Midco, and Gabe, who just completed his junior year at USD, where he is enrolled in the ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corp.) program.
