Sanford Health Recognized as Top Employer for Military and Veteran Affairs in Midwest

Captain Paul Weckman, the head of military and veteran affairs at Sanford Health, expressed gratitude for the brave men and women who have served or are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces. He stated that Sanford Health is committed to providing support for veterans and their families, which is why they have been recognized as the top employer in the Government & Non-Profit category by Military Friendly Brands.

This recognition was based on evaluations using public and government data sources, as well as a comprehensive survey completed by the employer. Other health care organizations like Northwell Health, Mayo Clinic, and UCHealth also made the list.
