Sioux Falls, SD-based Sanford Health will build children's clinics in Oregon and Ireland and switch to a shorter corporate name, officials announced. The growth will give Sanford a total of five children's clinics outside of its home region as the network tries to establish itself as a national and international force in healthcare. The Irish clinic will be in Dublin, said CEO Kelby Krabbenhoft. He would not give the city for the Oregon clinic or discuss a building schedule. He also confirmed that the health system would go by the name Sanford alone and drop MeritCare from its title. The network had been Sanford-MeritCare since a merger last fall.
