In order for MeritCare to improve its finances, it will cut 90 employees and close their clinic in LaMoure, ND. 90 other employees will work reduced hours and 120 vacant positions will be eliminated. Clinics in Twin Valley and Ulen, MN will remain open but their business hours will be reduced. The cuts and clinic closing will save MeritCare over $9 million dollars a year according to MeritCare’s president, Dr. Roger Gilbertson.
