Sanford, Medcenter merger: Letter of intent to merge, if approved, would extend reach into Oil Patch

Sanford Health moved closer to extending its reach into the western part of the state Monday with the announcement it’s signed a letter of intent to merge with Bismarck-based Medcenter One. The move would stretch the borders of Sanford — a six-state system with sites from northern Iowa to central North Dakota — west into the fertile territory of the states’ Oil Patch.
