{KXLG – Watertown, SD}\u00a0A new milestone in the integration of Prairie Lakes Healthcare System with Sanford Health will take place beginning next month with the transition to Sanford Health Watertown.<\/p>\n
The transition of name and branding will occur in phases beginning in late June and is part of the \u201cTogether for Good\u201d journey\u2014bringing the two organizations together to strengthen the care they provide and expand opportunities for the patients and communities they serve.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis change reflects more than a name update\u2014it represents the next chapter of our shared future and the strength of what we are building together,\u201d said John Allen, President and CEO of Prairie Lakes Healthcare System. \u201cI also want to acknowledge what the Prairie Lakes name\u00a0represents. It reflects decades of exceptional care, strong relationships and deep community pride. This legacy does not go away. It becomes part of the foundation we carry forward as Sanford Health Watertown.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we announced our combination last year, we committed to preserving and expanding health services across the many communities Prairie Lakes serves,\u201d said Jon Pociask, Chief Operating Officer for Health Network, Sanford Sioux Falls. \u201cBy bringing together the strengths of both organizations, we are building on what has always made Prairie Lakes special while expanding opportunities for our patients, our teams, and our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the rebranding transition begins, patients and the community can expect updates to facility and clinic names as well as changes to exterior and interior signage. The first update is scheduled to take place in late June as Prairie Lakes Cancer Center transitions to the Sanford Watertown Cancer Center. Other locations will follow over time.<\/p>\n
