Meet Our Boards and Senior Leaders
Sanford Health leadership drives us to improve, to heal and to cure. Two main teams make up our leadership:
- Board of Trustees members are volunteers. This dedicated group of community leaders has strategic responsibility for activities affecting the entire organization and fulfillment of our mission across our system.
- Executive Leadership members, as corporate officers of Sanford Health, are accountable to the Board of Trustees for fulfillment of the mission of our nonprofit organization.
