FARGO, N.D. – Sanford Health Fargo is officially opening its new inpatient oncology unit.
The 6S inpatient oncology unit, located within the Sanford Broadway Medical Center, features 16 private inpatient rooms designated to enhance patient care, comfort and efficiency. The new unit gives Sanford Fargo the capacity needed to care for more solid tumor patients and continue meeting the growing demand for services.
“We are excited to officially open our 6S inpatient oncology unit. Since 2020, patient referrals to radiation and medical oncology have increased by 54%. This unit will allow us to better accommodate the needs of our growing services,” said Susan Jarvis, Sanford Fargo chief operating officer. “This new unit signifies another incredible milestone in our journey toward transforming the Sanford Broadway campus into a modern facility designed to meet the unique needs of our patient population.”
With 6S opening, Sanford Fargo turns toward its next project on 7S, renovating the remaining 12 beds on the unit to create new, modern patient rooms that can accommodate blood and bone marrow transplant patients. When that renovation is finished in the spring, there will be 40 inpatient oncology beds in total.
The Sanford Roger Maris Cancer Center was recently named to Becker’s Hospital Review’s “Top 100 Hospitals and Health Systems with Great Oncology Programs” for a third consecutive year.
MEDIA ALERT: There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new inpatient oncology unit on Thursday, Nov. 13, at 9 a.m., at Sanford Broadway Medical Center, 801 Broadway N., Fargo. Please RSVP to Sanford media relations if you wish to attend.
