Creekside Medical Clinic, an independent, physician-owned group based in Rapid City, South Dakota, and specializing in primary care, has agreed to join Sanford Health. The combination is scheduled to close Sept. 1.

Providing care to Rapid City and western South Dakota for over 25 years, Creekside Medical Clinic’s team includes four family medicine physicians and two advanced practice providers. All staff members are anticipated to join Sanford Health. The practice will continue to be located in its current location at 2822 Jackson Blvd, Suite 101, and there will be no disruption to patient care.

“This announcement reiterates Sanford Health’s mission-driven approach and commitment to expand comprehensive, world-class health care services to meet the local needs of patients in Rapid City and the surrounding communities,” said Kyle Wiese, Sanford Rapid City president and CEO. “Sanford Health has a long history of bringing together local, independent physician groups that share our vision for the future of health care, and we are excited to welcome this team of talented primary care physicians to Sanford Health.”

General services at Creekside Medical Clinic include:

Outpatient medical care for children and adults

“Creekside Medical Clinic is delighted to announce our partnership with Sanford Health,” said Carson Phillips, M.D., at Creekside Medical Clinic. “As a team we will be able to expand Creekside’s successful clinic model of patient centered care and evidence-based medicine to provide primary care to the growing Black Hills community.”

“As our community’s health care needs grow and evolve, we are excited to join Sanford Health to further strengthen the quality and accessibility of primary care in our region,” said Taylor Kapsch, M.D., at Creekside Medical Clinic. “This partnership allows us to maintain our close-knit, compassionate approach while gaining access to greater resources, expanded services, and enhanced support systems – all for the benefit of our patients. Our mission remains unchanged — to provide high quality, relationship-based care that puts patients first.”

Creekside Medical Clinic is the latest independent physician group in western South Dakota to join Sanford Health. In November 2024, Black Hills Orthopedic and Spine Center (BHOSC), Black Hills Surgical Hospital (BHSH), Black Hills Urgent Care and Black Hills Surgery Center of Wyoming became a part of Sanford Health — with a goal of helping patients easily connect to Sanford Health’s full range of integrated health care, including specialty and subspecialty care, clinical trials, veterans precision medicine and more.

Today’s announcement builds upon the decades Sanford Health has been providing care in the region, including specialty outreach, AirMed transport and other vital services for Rapid City and western South Dakota. Sanford Health also operates a specialty reference laboratory in Rapid City and has provided specialty outreach for families in the area for more than 20 years. Outreach services include specialty pediatrics, reproductive endocrinology, fertility and genetic counseling and maternal fetal medicine.

Sanford Health also provides long-term care to residents in the area through the Good Samaritan Society at St. Martin’s Campus, Home Health of the Black Hills, Echo Ridge Campus and New Underwood.
