Sanford Health and North Memorial Health Announce Finalized Partnership
Sanford must invest $600 million and preserve Robbinsdale services under a decade-long oversight agreement with Minnesota regulators.
- On Tuesday, Sanford Health and North Memorial Health completed their merger, establishing North Memorial as the anchor of a new Twin Cities care delivery region serving approximately 2.5 million patients.
- Facing persistent financial losses in recent years, North Memorial joined the South Dakota-based Sanford Health, granting Sanford a long-sought foothold in the Minneapolis-St. Paul market.
- Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison struck a 10-year oversight agreement requiring a $600 million investment: $500 million for Maple Grove Hospital expansion and $100 million for Robbinsdale Hospital modernization.
- North Memorial CEO Trevor Sawallish will lead the new Twin Cities region, while Sanford Health President and CEO Bill Gassen oversees the combined nonprofit, which now includes 61,000 employees.
- Sanford committed $15 million to support rural healthcare providers and pledged to maintain Robbinsdale's Level 1 trauma center for 10 years, with Maple Grove Hospital construction beginning no later than the first quarter of 2027.
