With the boom in those developing diabetes I'd say there's some validity in that thought process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Like most things the general public is absolutely clueless on the working mechanisms and causes/concerns within our current healthcare system and market. To be blunt, like with most things, if one gets something for free there is always more abuse and is less incentive to be accountable for one's own actions but hey let's keep dumping more people on state and/or federal assistant healthcare plans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if your a politician, you need to give more and more free stuff. Ya know it buys votes and that is what matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity in Minot is looking at about $275 million for their new hospital plus $100 million to outfit it. Would expect Bismarck to be next $400 million. GF again last place. Will Minot or Williston overtake GF in population? West Fargo at it's current pace only a mmatter of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Who has to say anything? The location says it all. Yes, it sits on incorporated city of Fargo dirt however, ... Look at the map: - the north property border is West Fargo (I-94 is the city line) - the west edge of the Sanford property is <1000 feet to Veterans Blvd which is West Fargo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Sanford had owned that land for years prior to building a hospital on it if i'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to give you credit and I'm sure management does the same, SV = 1,000's of additional clicks. For not being a veterinarian, you sure know how to get under the skin of those fans that are going to be in the Manure Pit Friday night.

OgieOgilthorpe Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 $305 Million for that? Not to be NegaTron, but that building and campus seem small, cluttered and unimpressive. I'm hoping the poor video quality, constant panning, and weird animated humans distracted from the true quality looks of what the building will look like. Anyone else think that video was odd and frustrating? Just show me a quick 360 view of the building! Why is there more focus on the moving people, cars and strange random artsy camera angles than just showing the damn building? From what I could tell, the building honestly looks similar to the unappealing cluttered mess that Altru has going on right now. I wish a truly strong and well run healthcare system could've taken over GF during their dark times these past few years after the collapse. Check out the design plan for the new Trinity facility going up in Minot. Now THAT looks like an impressive and exciting facility! Worse yet, compare to the new Sanford facility in Fargo (it hurts to say that). Altru is just a perfect fit for last place and they never seem to know how to change that. Disappointing for the GF folks I'm sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hospitals are expensive...CT Scanners, MRI Machines, operating rooms, these are not cheap items. As a comparison, the new Sanford Hospital cost $494 million, Minot $383 million, Crookston $47 Million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
