Sanford Health completed its merger with the nationwide senior care services provider Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, the health system announced Jan. 2.
The organizations, both based in Sioux Falls, S.D., went public with plans to merge in June.
With the completion of the merger, Sanford Health now employs nearly 50,000 individuals and maintains more than $5 billion in annual revenue.
"We know that bringing these two organizations under one umbrella has many benefits for those we serve. Being on the forefront of the changing healthcare landscape made this historic opportunity a reality," Kelby Krabbenhoft, Sanford Health president and CEO, said in a statement.
The CEO of Good Samaritan will remain in his position and join Sanford Health's corporate leadership team.
