Sanford Fargo Recognized as Leading Neuro and Spine Program

Sanford Health Fargo has been recognized as having one of the top neuro and spine programs in the country.

Sanford Fargo was named to the Becker’s Hospital Review’s “Top 100 Great Neuro and Spine Programs.” All programs were recognized for their exceptional patient outcomes, advanced surgical techniques and groundbreaking research. These programs include visionary leaders, top-tier specialists, robust research initiatives and pioneering clinical trials.

The Sanford Fargo Brain & Spine Center has been the first to introduce several innovative offerings to the region, including endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques to treat skull base tumors.   Cutting-edge robotic technology has provided shorter hospital stays and recovery times following spine proceudures.  The team remains at the forefront of treatment options by conducting cutting-edge research on stroke imaging and medication efficacy, participating in clinical trials for multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, stroke and more.

“We are incredibly proud to be named a top neuro and spine program in the country for the second consecutive year,” said Tiffany Lawrence, Sanford Fargo president and CEO. “This is a well-deserved recognition for our team, as their efforts have helped ensure our region has access to the most-advanced stroke care, clinical trials, minimally invasive surgeries and more. From being the sole provider of these cutting-edge services to training providers through our neurology residency program in partnership with the University of North Dakota, the Sanford Fargo Brain & Spine Center is a significant differentiator and asset to the communities we serve.”

Sanford Fargo is the regional leader in advanced, comprehensive care, offering services in neurosurgery, neurology, neuropsychology, pain management, chiropractic care and neurodiagnostics. In addition to being an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center accredited by The Joint Commission between Seattle, Denver and Minneapolis, the organization extends the impact of its stroke services to rural hospitals through telemedicine programs like telestroke and virtual rounding.
