From the Argus Leader:
When the hospital is completed in 2009, Sanford Children's will house just over one-third of the more than 350 children's hospital beds in South Dakota, according to the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions.
This could save a lot of people from having to go to Minnesota for specialized care:
Sanford's growth could mean children in western South Dakota who need specialized care for rare or serious conditions increasingly will be sent to Sioux Falls rather than Denver or Minneapolis, said Dr. Charles Hart, president and chief executive of Rapid City-based Regional Health.
"I think it'll bring to the state greater access, especially to specialty care," Hart said. "To have a program in the state closer to us will be good for West River patients," he said.
