Oct. 27, 2026<\/p>\n

Sanford Health has started construction on a combined clinic and Lewis Drug location in southeast Sioux Falls.<\/p>\n

Sanford 57th & Veterans Parkway Clinic will feature acute care, family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology services to serve the growing southeast side of Sioux Falls and neighboring communities. It\u2019s located within the Founder\u2019s Crossing development from the Good Samaritan Society, which is part of Sanford Health.<\/p>\n

The clinic and retail concept will be similar to Sanford\u2019s development at Madison Street and Veterans Parkway; \u201chowever, this will have enhancements to it,\u201d said Andy Munce, president and CEO of Sanford Sioux Falls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will have acute care and service areas, as well as advanced imaging. Most clinics will have X-ray, and we\u2019ll have CT and ultrasound services to help the diagnostic capabilities of the clinic and acute care,\u201d Munce said. \u201cIt benefits the tie-in with Founder\u2019s Crossing and those patients as well. It\u2019s off the main (hospital) campus and more convenient for folks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plans for the nearly 30,000-square-foot clinic include 34 exam rooms, five treatment rooms, radiology, therapy and walk-in lab services.<\/p>\n

Adding acute care will take pressure off the next closest location at 26th Street and Sycamore Avenue, Munce said.<\/p>\n

In addition to clinic services, Lewis Drug will be attached to the facility, which will feature a Sanford Health Equip location inside. Lewis Drug became a business unit of Sanford Health a year ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really a full-service store with a pharmacy,\u201d Munce said.<\/p>\n

The clinic and Lewis will be directly connected to Good Samaritan \u2013 Founder\u2019s Crossing, giving residents of the campus direct access to healthcare, prescription drug services and home medical equipment.<\/p>\n

The first residents have started moving into independent living villas, with independent and assisted living apartments, memory care suites, short-term rehabilitation and the long-term care center set to open over the next couple of years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an absolute huge win to have the clinic as part of Founder\u2019s Crossing and the continuum of care that Good Samaritan provides,\u201d Munce said. \u201cBut the other piece is this is a clinic for the entire southeast side of Sioux Falls. As Veterans Parkway gets completed, this is a large hub, and this clinic serves that entire population.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sanford has owned the land for \u201c15 to 20 years,\u201d he estimates. \u201cAnd there are a lot of strategies and thought processes that come across. As we\u2019ve talked about our Sioux Falls strategies, our main medical center in the core of town is a lot of our subspecialty services, our surgical services, ER services. Then this really becomes our rooftop strategy to bring care to those within the region as the region develops around it.\u201d<\/p>\n

TSP is the architect for the project, and Fiegen Construction is the general contractor.<\/p>\n

Construction on the clinic began earlier this month, and the facility will open to patients in August 2028. Veterans Parkway is expected to reach from Interstate 90 to Western Avenue by late fall of 2028, with the final segment connecting from Western to Interstate 29 by 2029.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oct. 27, 2026 Sanford Health has started construction on a combined clinic and Lewis Drug location in southeast…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":897144,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[74908,97,252,253,74910,74912],"class_list":["post-897143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health-care","tag-founders-crossing","tag-health","tag-health-care","tag-healthcare","tag-lewis-drug","tag-sanford-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=897143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897143\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/897144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=897143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=897143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=897143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
