History

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 Denny Sanford's $400 million gift to the organization. On November 2, 2009, MeritCare was taken over by Sanford. Additional mergers with North Country Regional Health in Bemidji, Minnesota, and Medcenter One Health Systems followed in 2011 and 2012.
