BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) - Sanford Health opened new suites in its renovated same-day surgery center on Main Street.

These suites are for gastroenterology endoscopy patients. The goal is to offer more services to these patients, like colonoscopies and rectal screenings.

“The standard for colorectal screenings has changed to age 45, and this was about two years ago, and we still have not caught up on these colorectal screenings,” said Jackie Farland, vice president of operations at Sanford Health. “It’s very important for our patients to get that screening, so diagnosis can be done early.”

The clinic will be ready to accept patients on Nov. 18.
