The largest rural health system in the US plans to open a $350 million virtual care center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, this fall.
The Sanford Virtual Care Center will feature a patient and family experience lab designed like a living room, education institute with a simulation center, and accelerator spaces to co-develop solutions for the future of care delivery, per a press release.
"The support of telehealth is crucial, and it is imperative we continue to adapt and use this technology to keep our patients healthy and connected to care no matter where they live," David Newman, medical officer of virtual care at Sanford Health, says in the release.
The virtual care center is part of a larger effort by Sanford to provide access to world-class health care in America's heartland.
It also includes an education institute with a simulation center, an innovation center with accelerator spaces to co-develop solutions for the future of care delivery, and more.
