Sanford Health is a 10,000+ person nonprofit health system running Epic, Sectra PACS, and a hybrid Microsoft-AWS infrastructure across 47 medical centers and senior care locations. The organization is actively adopting identity standards (Kerberos, OAuth, SAML, OpenID Connect) while wrestling with compliance, staffing gaps, and data integrity—typical pressure points for large health systems scaling clinical operations. Hiring remains heavily skewed toward clinical roles (1,270 healthcare positions open), with targeted engineering and security staffing (26 and 25 roles respectively) suggesting efforts to modernize internal systems and risk posture.
