NEW SANFORD CANCER CENTER TO OPEN IN DOWNTOWN BISMARCK

Sanford Health is excited to open the new Sanford Cancer Center to the public Feb. 6.

Conveniently located on the fourth floor of Sanford Downtown Rosser Clinic across from the Bismarck Medical Center, the new state of the art 14,000 sq foot facility houses 18 exam rooms, an infusion pharmacy, a specialty boutique and 25 private, semi-private and open infusion bays.

“Our patients come to us from all across the Dakota’s and Montana, they deserve exceptional care, delivered by highly trained professionals, in a state-of-the-art facility located close to their hometown,” said Mike Salwei, executive director of oncology services. “This new facility will bring cancer care, infusion and hematology services together in one convenient location which will better serve our patients and their families.”

At Sanford Health, a specialized cancer team delivers the most advanced procedures and treatments using cutting-edge science. Sanford Cancer Centers are nationally accredited by the Commission on Cancer for quality care, expertise and patient experience. Sanford’s areas of expertise include breast cancer, head and neck cancer, leukemia, osteosarcoma, lung and pancreatic cancer.

“This new facility is a dream come true. Many years ago, I told Governor Sinner that I envisioned a welcoming, comprehensive cancer center with expert health care workers and specialties to serve the needs of our patients, so they don’t need to travel far from home,” said Barb Nies, director of oncology services. “Over the years, we have made that vision a reality and developed excellent quality control, added social service to meet our patients’ emotional needs, a survivorship clinic that will all operate under one roof.”

Sanford Bismarck began construction on the Cancer Center Spring 2022. Sanford Bismarck Medical Center has been certified by the Commission on Cancer (CoC) and recently reaccredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC).
