Sanford Health
Sanford Health is a nonprofit, integrated health care delivery system headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with additional offices in Fargo and Bismarck, North Dakota, and Bemidji, Minnesota.
Sanford Health has its roots in the Dakotas at the beginning of the 20th century, with Sioux Falls Hospital opening in Sioux Falls in 1894 and St. Luke's Hospital opening in Fargo in 1908. Over the next 80 years, both hospitals grew in size and influence, becoming integrated hospital-clinic systems known as Sioux Valley Health System and MeritCare Health System. The Sioux Valley Health System was renamed Sanford Health in 2007 after T. Denny Sanford's $400 million gift to the organization. On November 2, 2009, Sanford took over MeritCare. Additional mergers with North Country Regional Health in Bemidji, Minnesota, and Medcenter One Health Systems followed in 2011 and 2012.
Originally founded in 1905 as the Lutheran Hospital Association, in February 1908 the association opened the St. Luke's Hospital along with the St. Luke's School of Nursing, led by Sister Osa Oppedahl of the Deaconesses from the Norwegian Lutheran Church of Chicago.
In 1909, the hospital had its first expansion planned, which was completed in 1918 doubling the size of St. Luke's Hospital.
In April 1919, the hospital board approved the opening of a small specialty clinic where doctors worked in a team setting in a similar fashion to the Mayo Clinic. In 1921, the Fargo Clinic opened. In 1922, St. Luke's Hospital achieved accreditation from The American College of Surgeons and in 1925 the hospital established its emergency room.
In 1949, the Lutheran Hospital Association was renamed the St. Luke's Hospital Association.
In 1985, St. Luke's hospital, its subsidiaries, and the clinic all added MeritCare to their names and would fully merge their entities in 1993, becoming the MeritCare Health System that would merge with Sanford.
Medcenter One Health Systems was a nonprofit American health care provider headquartered in Bismarck, North Dakota. Medcenter One offered nine clinics, three long-term care facilities, and multiple hospital affiliations. It was designated as a Level II trauma center. It was bought and merged into Sanford Health in 2012.
