BEMIDJI — Sanford Bemidji invites the community to celebrate the grand opening of the new Sanford Bemidji Peak Center from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 24. The Peak Center is located at 2017 Net Way NW, in the former Delta Dental building.
All outpatient therapy services, including occupational, physical, speech and children’s therapy services relocated to the Peak Center in May. Some non-patient-facing departments will also be moving to the new location.

Bemidji's branch of Kraus-Anderson Construction recently completed an overhaul of the $3.3 million, 23,000-square-foot facility. Construction began in January to convert the former Delta Dental call center into a fully equipped physical therapy clinic featuring dedicated areas for rehabilitation and wellness, according to a release from Kraus-Anderson.
"Designed by EAPC Architects Engineers, the new PT facility will enhance patient experience, maximize functional space and support a diverse range of rehabilitation services," Kraus-Anderson said. "The comprehensive interior remodel features semi-private treatment rooms for individualized patient care; sensory and pediatric gyms designed for child-focused therapy and rehabilitation; an adult fitness area equipped for strength-building and mobility improvement; and a specialized cardio gym to enhance patient care and recovery."
The project also includes physical therapy treatment and neurotherapy spaces, as well as office workspaces and support staff areas for enhanced operational efficiency. Exterior improvements will include the addition of a new playground and a redesigned employee entrance, the release said.
“We are excited to celebrate the new home of our therapy services with the community as we continue to provide the same high-quality care,” Tanya Engesether, director of therapy and rehabilitation for Sanford Health Bemidji, said in a release.
During the open house, there will be a brief program followed by a meal from Black Hat BBQ, live music by Brock Beaulieu, facility tours, yard games and family-friendly activities.
