BISMARCK, N.D. — Sanford Health has expanded its endoscopy services at the Sanford Broadway Same Day Surgery Center, located at 715 E. Broadway Ave. in downtown Bismarck. This 15,000-square-foot addition is designed to enhance access, comfort and efficiency for patients seeking essential digestive health services in a convenient outpatient setting.
The newly renovated space includes six endoscopy suites and 18 preparation and recovery rooms, along with additional procedure rooms to accommodate a growing number of patients. Enhanced access points and streamlined workflows will help reduce wait times and improve patient flow from check-in through recovery.
The expansion features state-of-the-art technology, including updated scopes and advanced imaging equipment to support both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Services offered include colonoscopy, upper endoscopy (EGD) and treatments for conditions such as GERD, IBD and colorectal cancer screening.
“Digestive health is a critical part of overall wellness, and this expansion allows us to meet rising demand while providing patients with a more comfortable and efficient experience,” said Jackie Farland, vice president of operations, Sanford Bismarck. “By investing in advanced technology and patient-centered design, we’re improving access to life-saving screenings and treatments right here in our community.”
The American Cancer Society recommends individuals at average risk begin regular colorectal screenings at age 45, lowering the previous guideline from age 50. Early detection is key to preventing colorectal cancer, and Sanford’s expanded endoscopy services make these screenings more accessible than ever.
This investment also supports Sanford’s growing gastroenterology team, with seven new providers joining in 2025, strengthening the ability to deliver high-quality care across the region. The dedicated GI space fosters collaboration among multiple specialties, including gastroenterology and general surgery, ensuring comprehensive care under one roof.
