Sanford Health will break ground on a new clinic this spring in western Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which will accommodate the city’s growing west side.

The 42,000-square-foot clinic will be located adjacent to the Sanford Welness Center Tea-Ellis Road location and is expected to be completed in fall 2018. The $21.6 million clinic will be designed by Koch Hazard and constructed by Henry Carlson Co.

The single story clinic will offer family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, acute care services, mammography, behavioral health, occupational medicine, laboratory, radiology and home medical equipment.

“This new multi-specialty clinic will be a convenience for those in the growing west side of Sioux Falls,” says Paul Hanson, executive vice president of Sanford Health. “As Sioux Falls continues to grow, so does Sanford Health as we remain committed to easy access to care for all areas of the city.”

The clinic will have room for 24 providers and will include more than 50 exam rooms for family medicine, pediatrics and OB-GYN services as well as six procedure rooms. The clinic will also offer acute care services for evening and weekend hours, a convenient lab draw and imaging services location and access to mobile mammography services. Consult rooms will give patients a private location to meet with genetic counselors, integrated health therapists and health coaches, while a community room will also provide space for educational opportunities for patients and support groups.

“Along with the conveniences offered to patients at this new clinic, the facility will also be built so providers and staff members have maximum efficiencies,” Hanson says. “This all adds up to the best possible experience for patients.”

The clinic will also be adjacent to a new Lewis Drug retail store and pharmacy.

The University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota, kicked off its spring semester with the grand opening of its $10 million fieldhouse and wellness center.

The 80,000-square-foot facility is a two-level multi-purpose arena with four basketball courts, tennis, volleyball and racquetball courts, a 200meter track, rock climbing wall, state-of-the-art group fitness room and studios, coaches’ offices, team and day locker rooms, meeting rooms and a lounge.

“This is truly a result of a community effort, a statewide effort, where groups and friends of the University of Mary came together from start to finish, realizing the need for a state-ofthe-art facility that will be beneficial for all our students,” says Jerome Richter, vice president for the University of Mary’s Office of Public Affairs, in a statement.

This is the second of several major construction projects to be completed in phase one of a three-phased, $272 million Vision 2030 Capital Campaign at the university. Roers Hall, the first project completed in August 2016, is a 284-bed women’s residence hall.

The third project in phase one is the Lumen Vitae University Center, currently under construction and set to open in September. Once that project is finished, phase one will continue with the School of Engineering, which will be located on the north end of campus in the current University Hall building.

To date, the Vision 2030 Campaign has raised more than $57 million.
