advancing cancer care
Here for Their Journey
The Sanford Cancer Center in Bismarck sees more than 100 patients each day, all on their own unique and deeply personal journeys.
At Sanford, we’re here for patients and families from day one of a cancer diagnosis. Yet, at this very moment, thousands of our neighbors across central and western North Dakota still need our help.
With your support, we can do more. We can confront this disease head-on — giving friends and neighbors in communities across our region hope for the healthy and vibrant futures they deserve.
Give TodayGrowing Needs
The need for cancer care in Bismarck and beyond is reaching new heights. We’re caring for patients from multiple states and regions, covering thousands of square miles.
Nearly 30% of our patients travel 100 miles or more, round trip, for care and treatment. Distance is a complex and painful barrier for many patients in rural areas. In fact, according to a recent survey, more than 76% of cancer patients from our region said distance and travel costs were difficult obstacles during their cancer journeys.
For cancer patients of all ages, navigating the road to remission takes more than medicine. It takes a variety of essential programs and services that provide guidance, comfort and assistance — ensuring they never face the journey alone.
Driven by Generosity
Philanthropy fuels programs that surround patients with care and compassion. With your help, we can enhance and expand these initiatives — touching more lives and making a difference when it matters most.
Every Step. Every Patient.
Together, we can enhance and expand existing initiatives to empower communities across our region with the knowledge, support and equipment necessary to reduce cancer risks and improve early detection.
Care Beyond Medicine
Since the 14,000-square-foot Sanford Cancer Center opened in Bismarck in 2023, we’ve provided lifesaving care to thousands of patients from across our region. But now and tomorrow, thousands more will need us for care and treatment.
Together, we can make a difference. With your support, our medical scientists, researchers and caregivers can continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible to transform cancer care in meaningful ways — bringing hope and healing to more patients and families across our region today, and for generations to come.
