BHSC focuses primarily on orthopaedic and neurosurgical procedures. BHSC prides itself on its hotel-like ambiance. Its modern building, state-of-the art equipment, five star food and superior service enable BHSC to meet or exceed the needs of patients and their surgeons.

BHSC was originally built in 1996 and is now approximately 50,000 square feet with seven operating rooms, 23 beds (licensed for 26) and a clinical staff of 144. There are currently 103 physicians who have medical staff privileges at Black Hills Surgery Center. In 1998 MRI and CT services were added and in 2001 a 20,000 square foot addition with 18 overnight rooms and support facilities was completed. The facility is conveniently located with access to both public and private transportation. The facility, including land, are owned by Black Hills Surgery Center, LLP which is 51% owned by MFC.

BHSC recently acquired the most powerful imaging tool available, a 3-Tesla MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). This state-of-the-art imaging tool is twice as fast and powerful as standard MRI machines. The 3-Tesla produces images that are of higher resolution and of greater detail. This improves a physician's ability to see smaller structures than conventional magnet systems, allowing for more accurate diagnoses of both routine and hard-to-detect conditions. The increased speed means that the scanning process is quicker for the patient.
