Quality of Life

In 2014 Sanford Health opened a new $60 million medical center which expands patient access so that families living in and near Thief River Falls don’t have to travel far to get expert care and a broad range of services.

Residents of the Thief River area have access to superior public and private educational options and nationally recognized faculty.  Educational programs are aligned to occupations in demand.

Pursue your favorite outdoor activity – kayaking, golfing, fishing or bird watching in the summer months. If you like to hunt, we have more than 2 million acres of public hunting land. In the winter you can snowmobile, cross-country ski, skate, or go sledding.
