Sanford is also investing $10 million over 10 years in K-12, community college, and university health education in the Black Hills.

The hospital will also host medical residents and fellows.

These steps are meant to address workforce issues.

Hospital departments will include ED, ICU, oncology, pediatrics, women’s health, and labor+delivery.

Sanford wants to expand existing services that aren’t meeting demand while also bringing in specialties we don’t have. Specific specialties haven’t been decided yet.
