SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Dakotas-based Sanford Health has opened
for business in Africa.
The health network with headquarters in Sioux Falls, S.D., and
Fargo, N.D., has taken over one clinic in Ghana, is building two
more and is on track to have 10 clinics in the country.
The medical giant that bills itself as the nation's largest
not-for-profit rural health care provider aims to have a presence
on four continents in the next three years. It plans clinics in
Ireland, Mexico and Israel. Executive vice president Ruth
Krystopolski says Sanford anticipates eventually
having more than 100 clinics around the globe.
Sanford Health was formed by the merger of two health systems in
the Dakotas in 2009. It has a presence in more than 100 communities
in eight states.
