Sanford to replace West Fargo clinic in two phases

By Lisa Gibson

WEST FARGO, N.D. — Sanford Health is planning a two-phase project that will replace its existing clinic on the corner of Sheyenne Street and 13th Avenue West in West Fargo. Once completed, the facility will add pediatric services and expand its OB-GYN roster, for a total of 18 doctors and 40 staff.

“We’ve outgrown the space, and as we’ve looked to add new services and more doctors to the growing West Fargo area, we needed more space suited to these needs,” says Paul Richard, executive vice president of Sanford Fargo.

Phase one will begin this spring with the groundbreaking for a $3.75 million, 10,849-square-foot expansion to the west of the existing 16,466-square-foot clinic. “During this construction, the existing clinic will remain open and continue to offer family medicine and women’s services,” Richard says. “We will become operational in the new constructed space before we start phase two. … We will continue to offer services throughout the entire process.”

Phase two includes construction of 10,000-square-foot addition onto the west side of the first phase’s structure. No timeline has been set for phase two.

Sandford also recently completed the $494 million Sanford Medical Center in Fargo, which is set to open in July. “We’re committed to growing along with the communities we’re a part of,” Richard says. “Fargo and its surrounding communities are all experiencing significant growth, and we grow and expand with the community.” PB
