Redefining orthopedic excellence with integrated care and hospitality.
A new orthopedic hospital expands Sanford Health’s existing surgical tower, adding 12 state-of-the-art operating rooms along with dedicated pre- and post-operative recovery spaces designed to enhance the patient experience. Architecture Incorporated (Architect of Record) and HKS (Design Architect) partnered together to design this facility which brings together advanced orthopedic services in a highly specialized environment focused on efficiency, comfort, and coordinated care.
The project also enhances convenience by integrating healthcare and hospitality within a single destination. Located on the upper floors, the Highpoint Hotel features 56 guest rooms with panoramic views from one of Sioux Falls’ tallest buildings, providing comfortable accommodations for patients, families, and visitors who travel for treatment. The hotel also includes an on-site restaurant, offering guests a convenient dining option and a welcoming space to gather without leaving the facility.
The building’s glass curtainwall distinguishes it from surrounding campus facilities and serves as a visual expression of Sanford Health’s forward-thinking approach to healthcare. Inside, cutting-edge technology, including South Dakota’s only intraoperative MRI, supports complex procedures and advances surgical precision. Patient-centered design elements throughout the facility emphasize comfort, healing, and accessibility, reflecting Sanford Health’s commitment to delivering innovative care in a welcoming environment.
