It’s also to celebrate the enduring legacy of hometown hero, baseball star Roger Maris.

“When people look at a well-rounded community one of the first things they look at is what is the healthcare environment like and to have a world class destination center like Roger Maris in the community I think is extraordinarily important, ” President of Sanford Health Fargo Bryan Nermoe said.
