Sanford Health has once again been recognized nationally for its commitment to veterans and their families. Military Friendly Brands has ranked Sanford Health No. 3 in the category of Government & Non-Profit brands on its annual list of organizations that set the standard for providing the best opportunities for veterans and military spouses.
Sanford Health has placed in the Top 10 category of this recognition since the inception of the Military Friendly Brands award in 2024.
Organizations earning the Military Friendly Brands designation were evaluated using both public and government data sources with responses from a comprehensive survey completed by the organization. Sanford Health was the top-ranked health care system on the list and is joined by other health care organizations such as Northwell Health (No. 4) and Highmark Health (No.8).
Supporting veteran careers and care
“At Sanford Health, we believe in investing in our nation’s heroes to provide them with opportunities where they feel valued and supported,” said Capt. Paul Weckman, head of military and veteran affairs at Sanford Health. “Sanford Health is honored to support brave men and women who are currently serving or have served in the United States Armed Forces, and we want to thank them for choosing us to continue their careers or receive their care. The sacrifices they have made while serving make it possible for us to deliver world-class care to our patients and residents in communities across the Midwest.”

Sanford offers several programs for military and veteran employees, including continuation of benefits and differential pay for service members during their deployment. In 2023, Sanford Health expanded its support to active-duty members and their spouses by partnering with the Department of Defense SkillBridge Program and the Military Spouses Employment Program.
People who disclose they are veterans of the United States uniformed services when applying for a job at Sanford Health are automatically given a screening interview. Military and veteran employees have the option to continue their education and apply for a $5,000 scholarship. Sanford Health is now accepting applications until Sept. 30 for four $5,000 awards.
