About Us

Welcome to the Sanford Canby Medical Center website.  We have created this site as an information link and health resource for community members, physicians, patients, and other visitors to our site.  We invite you to explore our site to learn more about the comprehensive healthcare services available through Sanford Canby Medical Center.  If you need further information or have questions about our services, please contact Tesha Snyder, Human Resources Coordinator, at (507)223-7277 ext. 209.

Hospital facilities in the Canby Community can be traced to the early 1900s.  The first formal hospital was created when John W. Swenson bequeathed his home to the city for use as a hospital.  That original hospital and the growth in healthcare services has led to the development of a local healthcare system with a wide array of healthcare services and facilities together on one campus for the efficiency and convenience of our patients.

Today, Sanford Canby Medical Center is a part of Sanford Health working together as a larger, integrated system of care to better serve our patients and communities.

The Hentges Center was constructed in 2002.  This building houses the Wellness Center, Ambulance Services, Home Health Services, Massage Therapy, and the Dental Clinic.  In 2003, the hospital was renovated with a new addition for larger patient rooms, maternity suites, a new pharmacy, and other improvements.

Sanford Canby Medical Center is Dedicated to the Work of Healing!  We will continue to bring the best services possible to the city of Canby and the surrounding area.
