Media Relations Policy

As the premier destination for healthcare in the region, Sanford Health is a trusted resource for medical information. Our relationship with the media is based on mutual respect and the assurance that patients’ privacy and confidentiality are given the highest priority.

Media Requests for Interviews and Photographs
To effectively facilitate media requests, Sanford Health has established the following guidelines:

Members of the media interested in conducting interviews, taking video, or taking photographs of staff, patients, or patients’ families must request permission from the Sanford Health media relations team.
A member of the media relations team will accompany members of the media at all times while they are on any Sanford Health property. This includes at our clinics, hospitals, and our fitness facilities.
All patients must sign a consent form before the media will be allowed to interview, photograph, or video tape.
