SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Dakotas-based Sanford Health is breaking ground Friday on a 100,000-square-foot medical genetics building in Sioux Falls.

Construction of the three-story Sanford Imagenetics center is expected to be completed in 2017.

Imagenetics is a program that integrates genomic medicine with primary care for adults. Its services will include general internal medicine, medical genetics, genetic counseling, cytogenetic and molecular genetic laboratories, radiology and patient access management.

The building will also have a new dialysis center and teaching space for the genetic counseling graduate program created in partnership with Augustana University.

Groundbreaking ceremonies are planned for late Friday morning.

Sanford Health is based in Sioux Falls and Fargo, North Dakota.
