A Message from Our Leaders

Hear from Bill Gassen, president and chief executive officer of Sanford Health, and Trevor Sawallish, chief executive officer of North Memorial Health, about the vision for our future together.

What This Partnership Means

Two mission-driven, nonprofit health systems coming together to strengthen care for the communities we serve.

Ensuring We’re Here For You

A cornerstone of this partnership is preserving critical access to care for underserved communities. Challenging economic trends and rising costs mean that, as health care providers, we must act now to ensure we can continue caring for all who need us. Together, we can build a stronger financial foundation, better navigate economic pressures and invest more deeply in patient care and services.

Expanded Access to Care

By coming together as one nonprofit health system, we will connect patients to a broader network of providers, services and specialized expertise – giving patients more choice in where and how they receive care.

Strengthening Community Hospitals

The partnership accelerates investment in the care our communities rely on – sustaining and modernizing Robbinsdale Hospital and doubling the size of Maple Grove Hospital to meet the growing needs of the community while keeping high-quality care local.

Innovation That Supports Caregivers and Patients

Together, we can accelerate clinical innovation and digital tools that help us catch cancer and chronic disease earlier and deliver more personalized care. Our team members and providers will also benefit, with stronger peer networks and more support for their wellbeing and career growth.

Commitment to Equity

Together, we’re committed to improving health outcomes and reducing barriers to care – including for rural and urban communities that have historically faced geographic, economic or social obstacles.
