For the second consecutive year, Tiffany Lawrence, Sanford Health Fargo president and CEO, was named to  Becker’s Hospital Review’s “Women hospital presidents and CEOs to know” list.

The presidents and CEOs featured on this list are responsible for growing their organizations, fostering positive workforce cultures, expanding services and facilities, increasing provider and patient satisfaction levels and more. This list honors women executives for their dedication to bettering their organizations for patients and providers alike.

Lawrence has been with Sanford Health for 29 years, becoming president and CEO in March 2022. She is responsible for overseeing North Dakota’s largest health care provider and employer, managing more than 10,200 employees. As president and CEO, Lawrence has worked with her leadership team to increase access to state-of-the-art health care in the Fargo-Moorhead area and surrounding rural communities by introducing new specialized programs, opening new facilities, having specialty clinicians provide outreach services and adding virtual care options. Under her leadership, Sanford Fargo continues to be home to several unique services and programs in North Dakota, including being home to the only Level I Adult Trauma Center, Level II Pediatric Trauma Center and Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center in the state.

“I am truly humbled to be recognized alongside some of the best female leaders in health care in the country,” said Lawrence. “While being named to this list is an honor, this recognition is only possible because of our leadership team, clinicians, nurses and other support staff who bring world-class health care close to home. Our employees are the heart of our organization and the reason Sanford Health is the leader in rural health care. I am proud to call them teammates and proud to bring our community the high-quality health care it deserves.”
