History

On 3 February 2007, its name was changed to Sanford Health to commemorate a $400 million gift from businessman and philanthropist T. Denny Sanford. Then on 2 November 2009 Sanford merged with MeritCare to form the current health system, Sanford Health with nearly 1200 physicians in 70 plus specialties.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The history of a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
