SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) -- Sanford Health is taking over the 60 Lewis Drug locations throughout South Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota.

According to Sanford Health, "the partnership" will be finalized this fall.

"I think the timing was good just for the standpoint of our president, Mark, was reaching an age where he thought it was time for a transition," Scott Cross, executive vice president of Lewis Drug, said. "And just based on our partnership with Sanford over the previous 25 years, it just made a lot of sense to do more with them."
