SIOUX FALLS, S.D. —Five Sanford Health hospital locations have been recognized for their dedication to heart patients by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in the ACC advertising insert in the 2025 U.S. News & World Report “Best Hospitals” Guidebook.
Sanford USD Medical Center in Sioux Falls and Sanford Aberdeen Medical Center were honored in South Dakota, while Sanford Medical Center Fargo and Sanford Medical Center Bismarck were honored in North Dakota, along with Sanford Bemidji Medical Center in Minnesota.
All five hospital locations are committed to providing top-level care. Through participation in the ACC’s proven quality programs, they inform their robust quality improvement processes using data to drive improvements in adherence to guideline recommendations and overall quality of care provided to heart patients.
