SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Sanford Health continues to support current and past military members with programs designed to meet their health care needs.

Through the continued generosity of T. Denny Sanford, Sanford Imagenetics is offering free pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing to those who have served or individuals currently serving in the military. PGx testing helps provide patients with information on how they process certain medications, which can help doctors make more informed decisions about treatments and care plans for patients.

The PGx testing is free for all veteran and active military patients who receive their primary care at Sanford Health. AC

“We aim to be the provider of choice for our current and past military members,” said Capt. Paul Weckman, head of military and veteran affairs at Sanford Health. “They have done so much for us, it’s a privilege for us to be able to care for our veterans.”

For more information, or to check patient eligibility, call (888) 424-2332 or visit Imagenetics.SanfordHealth.org.
