HRMC Welcomes Return of Pratt to Lead Wound Care Services
January 19, 2026
Huron Regional Medical Center (HRMC) is pleased to welcome Kristin Pratt, CNP, back to the organization as the lead provider for wound care services at the HRMC Physicians Clinic. Pratt brings a strong background in family and primary care, a deep connection to the community, and a passion for helping patients heal and regain hope.
Pratt previously cared for a wide range of patients across the lifespan at the HRMC Physicians Clinic, where she began her nurse practitioner career as the first nurse practitioner employed by the Physicians Clinic. Most recently, she provided primary care in De Smet. Her return to HRMC marks an intentional step toward specialization and program growth in wound care.
“I see this as an opportunity to really focus, to grow a new area of expertise, and to walk with patients from the start of a wound through healing,” said Pratt. “Many patients come to wound care when things feel overwhelming, and I’m hopeful I can help bring education, encouragement, and hope into that process for them.”

Pratt’s background in family medicine allows her to approach wound care with a comprehensive lens, addressing not only the wound itself but also the underlying conditions that contribute to chronic wounds, such as diabetes, nutrition, and circulation.
“Wound care is unique in that you often get to see tangible progress,” Pratt said. “Being able to see a wound improve and ultimately heal is incredibly rewarding. At the same time, it’s an evolving field with new technologies, advanced dressings, and expanding uses for therapies like hyperbaric oxygen. That innovation is exciting.”
As part of her role, Pratt will lead and collaborate closely with HRMC’s experienced wound care nursing team as well as general surgeon and chief medical officer, Terry Larsen, DO and surgical podiatrist, Jordan Finck, DPM.
“Our wound care team is exceptional,” Pratt said. “They are knowledgeable, skilled, and deeply committed to their patients. I’m looking forward to learning alongside them and building a program that continues to grow in expertise and impact.” Pratt is currently completing additional training and working toward wound care certification.
Pratt also sees opportunity to expand access to wound care services, keeping care close to home for patients who might otherwise need to travel long distances.
“When someone has a significant wound, travel can be a real burden,” she said. “Being able to offer advanced wound care locally, and potentially expand services through education, outreach, or even telemedicine can make a meaningful difference for patients and families in our region.”
In addition to clinical care, patient and community education is a key area of focus for Pratt.
“Education empowers people,” she said. “Whether it’s learning how to care for a minor wound properly or understanding how chronic conditions affect healing, that knowledge can prevent complications and improve outcomes.”
Originally from Georgia, Pratt moved to South Dakota after meeting her husband, Jordan. She completed nursing education through Dakota Wesleyan University and earned her RN-to-MSN from South University while gaining clinical experience alongside physicians in Huron. She and her husband now call the area home with their two young children.
“I was very blessed to start my career at HRMC,” Pratt said. “It feels incredibly meaningful to return and give back in a new way.”
President and CEO for HRMC, Erick Larson says Pratt’s return strengthens the organization’s commitment to comprehensive, patient-centered care.
“We are excited to welcome Kristin back to HRMC,” said Larson. “Her experience, leadership, and passion for patient education and healing will be a tremendous asset to our wound care program and the community we serve.”
The HRMC wound care team, located at HRMC Physicians Clinic, includes highly trained and compassionate individuals who treat a variety of acute and chronic wounds using proven techniques such as special dressings, skin substitutes, and diagnostics that can jumpstart healing. Wounds treated can include diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg disease and swelling, arterial ulcers, open wounds, radiation related tissue damage, nonhealing surgical wounds, chemical and thermal burns, and more.
