Breaking news in health care

This was published in this week's Belgrade Observer, and I just learned about it last night.

CentraCare Health is closing their Belgrade clinic. The last day they will see patients in Belgrade is June 28.

They had cut to just three days a week of service in Belgrade back in January.

Meanwhile, I want to remind everyone that Glacial Ridge Health System of Glenwood is proud to offer a wide array of health care services at the Brooten Medical Center. They are open five days a week, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Their address is 111 Pleasant Avenue, mailing P.O. Box 69...phone number 320-346-2272.

Glacial Ridge Health System has been a loyal, faithful partner with the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper ever since they opened the clinic in Brooten in the early 1980s. (About 1984?)

Which reminds me, I should do a little research on that! And write about the beginnings of how that came about. I know it happened soon after the Brooten Creamery closed.
