In 2007, Sanford Health launched an initiative to develop a series of pediatric clinics in areas in the U.S. and around the world that lack sufficient primary care services. In many developing countries, however, the most effective way to improve the health of children is treating the entire family. To accommodate this need, Sanford expanded its mission to include the potential for hundreds of community clinics to serve millions of people. Formed upon Sanford’s century-long commitment to providing comprehensive health care in the Midwestern United States, The Sanford World Clinics represent the organization’s international commitment to health and healing.
