The Sioux Falls, S.D.-based health system said it will add up to four operating rooms, expand urgent care space and upgrade imaging services, which will feature an on-site MRI scanner.

Orthopedic surgery, sports medicine and rehabilitation services are provided at the facility, which is expected to complete renovations by next spring.

Sanford said it also is planning a heart and vascular center, projected to cost $43 million to $46 million. Groundbreaking is set for spring 2022 and completion by fall 2023.

With several expansion projects called off or put on hold due to economic difficulties prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Sanford Fargo President Brian Nermoe told Inforum that this is where being “part of a large, integrated system” comes into play, providing the financial stability to move these projects forward.
