Physician Recruitment
  "I chose Sanford Health as my home because I felt a true sense of professionalism when I came to interview. The Leadership is extraordinary and the only limitations to my medical practice are the ones that I self-impose. Having been offered "Pie in the Sky" at other locations, I still chose Sanford. I have never regretted that decision and I continue to be honored to call Sanford Health MY HOME!"Laurie B. Landeen, MD Sanford Clinic - OBGYN, Ltd.  "The reason I chose Sanford Health was the fact that Sioux Falls is a nice community, and close to my family. However, the reason I love Sanford Health is that it is a hybrid of academics and community practice. I had come from a traditional large academic center which was state run, and I became disenchanted with the bureaucracy and inability to control my practice especially in the financial department. Sanford Clinic allows each group and individual physician to design their destiny. For me, a mixture of research and clinical practice is what makes me happiest, and I have been able to do just that at Sanford Health. I am sure I am here for the long haul!"Maria Bell, MD Sanford Clinic - OBGYN, Ltd.  "I chose Sanford Clinic because I wanted to work with people who were focused on excellence in patient care and teaching, and treating patients with kindness and compassion. I also wanted to be part of a system of care that was committed to public health issues. I haven't been disappointed. I appreciate the support of the cumulative knowledge of the Sanford Health team."Vicki Walker, MD Sanford Health Vermillion Clinic - USD Student Health  "I chose Sanford Health for a number of reasons - these two points sum it up:1. I believed SV when they said "come here and we will make your vision for women's health come alive in Sioux Falls." There was a level of trust apparent in Dan Blue and a passion evident when I interviewed that matched the passions and visions I had for women's health in the future. 2. Sanford Health is a diamond in the rough of the Midwest of medicine. I could see it when I came here and it has become more evident to me the longer I am here. It is a phenomenal organization that believes in mentoring, nurturing, and satisfying the physicians and providing wonderful patient care in the area. The nursing staff, the administration, the potential for change and growth - the friendly compassionate atmosphere - no comparison to places I have worked in the past in the East Coast." Lisa Ellis, MD Sanford Clinic - OBGYN, Ltd.  "I have worked with and known several of the Sanford Clinic doctors for the past 8 years and have always been impressed with the support that Sanford Health has given them and the level of care/concern given to their patients.I was actually a patient in Sanford a few years ago and discovered firsthand not only the quality of care given to their patients, but the quality of individuals working for Sanford Health as well. The nurses that attended to me while I was in the hospital were nothing short of outstanding. My personal physician, Dr. David Zeigler, a Sanford Clinic doctor, is a very impressive and caring individual. He has always treated me with respect and compassion. So, when the time came for me to move on with my career and we discovered that there was a position available at Sanford Clinic - Radiology, it really didn't take alot for me to know, considering my personal experiences with individuals and Sanford as a whole, that this was the place for me." Jim Anderson, DO Sanford Clinic - Radiology  "It is as true today as it was 28 years ago when I first came. This was and is the only institution in the region with a clear sense of mission that puts the patient first. Over the years I have been able to work with this hospital to begin many new programs for children. Once the administration is convinced that patient care will be enhanced, they will provide the resources to make the program the very best possible. The most recent example of this is the new Newborn Intensive Care Unit. This unit occupies three times the space of the former unit. It was understood that the patient population (and therefore the revenue) would not triple. But the clinical evidence suggested that large, quiet, light controlled private rooms where parents could stay enhanced the long term outcome of the babies. Hence a first class, state-of-the-art NICU was built. The current interest of Sanford in enhancing its academic stature through research and an ever closer relationship with Sanford School of Medicine has at its heart the improvement of patient outcome. This progressive, creative and patient centered approach, coupled with genuinely nice people, is hard to find anywhere."Lawrence J. Fenton, MD Sanford Children's Specialty Clinic  "I came to Sioux Falls from a large city. I came with skills (pediatric interventional cardiac catheterizations), which were new to the region and provided services to children who would otherwise have to leave home for care. It was exciting to provide a new service to a community. The people here are warm, friendly yet hard-working; the kind of environment I wanted to raise my children in. After 6 years at Sanford I realized that doctors and nurses are not the only ones dedicated to delivering quality care. The administration has demonstrated their commitment to service excellence and provides the mechanisms to help physicians achieve this goal. This feels the way that medicine was meant to be delivered. Physicians can practice medicine with a small town flair, but with the tools of large academic institution." Theresa Stamato, MD Sanford Children's Specialty Clinic |
"Sanford Health understands that the quality of patient care is the key to long-term success."
"The thing that intrigued me most about Sanford Health was the concept of integrated medicine. I am coming from a situation where the hospital in town could not get along with the clinic that I was with. It made the practice of medicine that much more difficult. I am greatly encouraged by the short time that I have been with Sanford Health."
