This legislative commemoration honors Dr. Margaret Becker for her exemplary service as a family medicine physician and her significant contributions to the community. Dr. Becker has been a dedicated provider at the Monument Health Spearfish Clinic and has served as the medical director of the Good Shepherd Free Clinic for the past eight years. Her efforts have been instrumental in addressing the health needs of many individuals who might otherwise lack access to medical care.

In recognition of her unwavering commitment and selfless service, Dr. Becker has been awarded the 2025 South Dakota Copic Humanitarian Award by the South Dakota State Medical Association. Notably, she has chosen to designate the accompanying $10,000 donation to the Good Shepherd Free Clinic, further supporting the vital services it provides. The commemoration acknowledges her countless hours of volunteer work and the positive impact she has made on the lives of patients in western South Dakota.
