Since Sanford Health Thief River Falls Behavioral Health Center sustained extensive damage from a water line break in January, dialysis patients were sent to other providers. On Wednesday, March 9, Sanford opened a temporary dialysis location in the Sanford Wellness Center, 1720 Hwy. 59 in Thief River Falls.
“Dialysis services are a necessary, life-saving procedure for our patients,” said Brian Carlson, executive director of Sanford Thief River Falls. “We are pleased to be able to provide dialysis services to them in a temporary location, close to home, until facility repairs are completed.”
Over the past couple months, Sanford Health leaders have continued to work with local contractors who have been committed to the timely repairs of the behavioral health center. The Thief River Falls community relies on these important services offered in this center, and Sanford looks forward to being able to continue to serve them in the near future.
