Sanford Health and City of Williston hold groundbreaking for new multispecialty clinic

Posted: May 12 2022
WILLISTON, N.D. — Sanford Health is breaking ground on a new multispecialty clinic on the site of Williston Square. This clinic is the next step in Sanford’s 100-year plan to serve Williston and its surrounding communities as a leader in rural health care.
 
Located on the corner of 33rd Street and Second Avenue west, the clinic will include primary and specialty services, an infusion center, imaging equipment and lab. 
 
“We are excited to move forward with our vision of bringing enhanced health care to Williston and its surrounding communities,” said Todd Schaffer, MD, president/CEO of the Bismarck region of Sanford Health. “Last year we purchased 25 acres of land in Williston Square with the vision of creating a regional center for health care in Williston. We remain committed to working closely with the City of Williston and the community board to plan future services that will better serve the needs of patients closer to home.”
 
“Today’s groundbreaking cements Williston’s commitment to bringing the best health care possible to the citizens of our region,” said Williston Mayor Howard Klug. “Not only will there be a state-of-the-art clinic, but this project will support partnerships with Williston State College and other universities to provide educational opportunities for future health care workers. Our region continues to see exciting growth and opportunities, and Sanford Health and Williston Square will be ready to serve the development of northwest North Dakota and eastern Montana.”
 
In addition to health care, Williston Square, an 800-acre development on the former site of Sloulin Field International Airport, includes plans for a Civic Center, shopping, restaurants and new residential homes and apartment buildings.
