BISMARCK, N.D. (Jan. 4, 2024) – Sanford Health has announced a 15,000 square-foot addition to the Sanford Broadway Same Day Surgery Center in Bismarck. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2024 and be completed in fall 2025.
The added space will include six new endoscopy suites as well as 18 preparation and recovery rooms. The rooms are designed to enhance patient experience and provide a comfortable transition before and after their procedure.
“We are excited to announce this expansion, which will not only accommodate the increased demand for same-day services, but also increase convenience for our patients,” said Jacqueline Farland, executive director of surgical services. “By providing easier access to routine screenings, such as colorectal screenings, we can meet the growing demand and proactively contribute to our community’s overall health. This expansion aligns with our commitment to advancing health care accessibility and ensuring a seamless patient experience.”
The American Cancer Society recommends patients at average risk for colon cancer start regular colorectal screenings at age 45, which is lowered from age 50. Lowering the recommended age for a screening helps detect an issue early before symptoms begin and when the cancer is most preventable.
The Sanford Broadway Same Day Surgery Center, located at 715 E. Broadway Ave., opened in November 2021. Surgical specialties currently offered include:
- Ear, nose and throat
- General surgery
- Orthopedic and sports medicine
- Plastic surgery
- Podiatry
