SIOUX FALLS , S.D. (KELO) — Sanford Health is taking over the 60 Lewis Drug locations throughout South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota.
According to Sanford Health, “the partnership” will be finalized this fall.
Lewis Drug will keep its current brand but all of the Lewis Drug employees will become employees of Sanford Health.
“By bringing Lewis Drug into Sanford Health’s integrated health care system, we are helping ensure communities across the upper Midwest continue to have access to medications, vaccinations, screenings and expert support from Lewis Drug’s team of skilled pharmacists and pharmacy technicians,” Bill Gassen, president and CEO of Sanford Health, said in a news release.
Sanford Health and Lewis Drug have partnered for more than 25 years with their 11 Sanford Health clinics with Lewis Drug pharmacies and 44 co-owned Lewis Family Drug locations in rural South Dakota.
