Congratulations to Dr. Sarah Hamad, who has achieved board certification in lifestyle medicine.

Lifestyle medicine is a medical approach that uses healthy lifestyle habits to prevent, treat and sometimes reverse chronic conditions. Some examples of lifestyle medicine treatment options include: whole food plant-predominant nutrition, positive social connections, stress management and regular physical activity.

Dr. Hamad is also board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is a Blue Zones certified physician, which signifies expertise in applying longevity principles such as plan-forward diets, natural movement and stress reduction to clinical care.

We had an incredible time hosting four local Northwest Minnesota high school students for a MedEx session with our surgery team! This hands-on experience was designed to give students a real look into healthcare careers, bringing them behind the scenes to explore the skills, teamwork, and passion that drive surgical care.

Providing opportunities like this is something we truly value. Investing in early exposure is essential to building our future workforce, especially in rural communities. Thank you to these students for spending time with us. We’re grateful for the chance to give back in a meaningful way.

We had a blast hosting and are excited to continue offering more sessions like this throughout the year!

The Sanford Thief River Falls Medical Center Infant Bereavement Program is pleased to sponsor the Little Lamb Memorial Tree. This beautiful Christmas tree will be located in the hospital lobby. Families who have experienced the loss of a baby through miscarriage or stillbirth are invited to have an ornament placed on the tree with their baby’s name and date of birth. For example, a full name and date of birth may be used or simply “Baby Jones 1997.” All are encouraged to have their baby recognized with an ornament whether the loss was recent or many years ago. There is no charge for the ornaments. Families are encouraged to have an ornament placed on the tree every year in memory of their baby.

The tree is provided and decorated by the Sanford Thief River Falls Auxiliary. Those wishing to donate to the Infant Bereavement Program may do so through the Sanford Auxiliary. To have an ornament placed on the tree call the hospital office at 218-681-4240. The Little Lamb Memorial Tree Lighting Ceremony will take place on December 7, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the Sanford hospital lobby (ER entrance). The ceremony will include a memorial service. Everyone is welcome to attend this special event.
