Definitely will help develop the south end. Bismarck had two hospitals when their population was less then Grand Forks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had a Sanford hospital here those people would not need to go to Fargo and we have a large Canadian population that we could draw from.

The Sicatoka Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 Anywhere Sanford is there's a slot for competition, see: BIS and St A's; FAR and Essentia; Sioux Falls and Avera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
