According to hospital officials, Mr. Wentz and Sanford Health have maintained a long-running relationship, dating back to his time as a football player at Fargo-based North DakotaStateUniversity.
“Sanford has been there for me during my journey as a quarterback, and I truly appreciate the support over the years. I’m very honored to be partnering with the great people at Sanford – we intend to work together to give back and support the communities in our great region,” said Mr. Wentz.
“Athletes of Carson’s caliber and success don’t come along that often. The pride that is in all of us as fans runs particularly strong in those who know him and cared for him. He’s part of the Sanford family, and we are incredibly honored to continue our close relationship with him,” said Bruce Piatt, MD, NDSU’s football physician.
Mr. Wentz joins the ranks of several other professional athletes with ties to Sanford Health, including Minnesota Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway and Denver Nuggets shooting guard Mike Miller.
