Sanford and North Memorial Merge | Pierre News

Sanford Health and North Memorial Health are merging on September 1st, backed by a $600 million investment to upgrade hospitals in Maple Grove and Robbinsdale. The deal, approved under new Minnesota law with Attorney General Keith Ellison’s 10-year oversight, could save North Memorial from devastating cuts while Sanford, after last year’s failed Fairview attempt, aims for better patient care and seamless integration. Specialized services like gender-affirming care will continue statewide — though Sanford notes it must comply with state laws, including bans in South Dakota.
