HANKINSON, N.D. – The Sanford Health Hankinson Clinic is set to open on Wednesday, July 15. The clinic is located at 112 5th St. SW
Services at the Sanford Hankinson Clinic will immediately include primary care, laboratory, physical therapy and occupational therapy. Future plans call for behavioral health services to be available at the clinic. The Sanford Hankinson Clinic will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
“We are excited to open our Hankinson clinic and provide the residents of Hankinson and the surrounding communities with world-class health care close to home,” said Brittany Jaehning, Sanford Hankinson clinic director. “Local access to healthcare is so important for smaller communities like Hankinson because it helps people get medical care quickly without having to travel far. In addition to providing health services, opening the Sanford Hankinson Clinic will create jobs and help keep the community strong and growing.”
Sanford Health has a long history of steadily growing its primary and specialty care services in North Dakota. The Devils Lake region is an area looking to expand its role as a hub for medical care, making getting to the doctor easier. Sanford’s medical centers in Fargo and Bismarck are two of the four major hubs for the nation’s largest rural healthcare system. In addition, Sanford has invested in clinics and critical access hospitals in smaller communities throughout North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota, including a new clinic opening in Grand Forks, N.D. in August 2021 and Devils Lake in February 2022.
