Sanford Health Hopes To Open Its First International Site in Dublin, Ireland

Sanford Health soon might ink a deal to build its first international children's clinic in Ireland.

The health system is in the process of exchanging agreements with the Hermitage Medical Clinic to build a $5 million children's health clinic, said Sanford Executive Vice President Dave Link. The 126-bed independent hospital is in west Dublin.

The hospital is using a $400 million donation from South Dakota businessman and philanthropist T. Denny Sanford to build clinics throughout the world, create opportunities for health research and identify and then resolve one of "the most pressing health issues of our day."
