WILLISTON, N.D., April 5, 2021 — Sanford Health is excited to announce its initial community board for the new hospital and clinic to be built in Williston Square. The community board will provide planning and development oversight of Sanford’s Williston operations and become the first hospital board upon project completion.

“Health care is best served at the local level, and we are excited to have a group from Williston and the surrounding area committed to helping us provide a high level of care to patients in the region,” said Michael LeBeau, M.D., president/CEO of the Bismarck region of Sanford. “The board’s formation is a significant step in our planning and development process.”

“Having a health care provider that includes the input of the local community worked very well for Williston,” said Williston Mayor Howard Klug. “This opportunity to work with a health care provider on a local level to provide insight about unique issues that affect our community will be positive for our city and region.”

Community board members include:

Local Sanford physicians will be added to the community board for the new hospital and clinic in the future.

The City of Williston and Sanford Health announced a vision to build a new hospital and clinic in Williston Square this March through the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI). The groups aim to have an agreement completed by Aug. 31, 2021.
