St. Paul Clinic Closures Leave Homeless Patients Facing a Two-Mile Gap in Care

Minnesota Community Care shut down its Downtown Clinic and St. Paul Wellness Hub in early July, eliminating the only walk-in medical care inside the Dorothy Day Place campus and forcing patients, many of them unhoused, to travel roughly two miles south to the organization's West Side flagship, La Clinica. The closures came as the state's largest Federally Qualified Health Center braces for a wave of anticipated Medicaid losses tied to federal policy changes, and as its own finances have grown increasingly shaky.

Minnesota’s Hennepin County tops U.S. in federal spending

(The Center Square) – Hennepin County in Minnesota has received the most federal spending of any county both in Minnesota and the U.S. overall in the past year and a half. This is according to a new study from SmartAsset, which looked at which counties nationally received the largest injections of federal spending. For total federal dollars, Hennepin County saw more than $286 billion in federal spending committed to it during the 18-month period examined. That is the most of any county nationally and accounts for about 4.7% of the roughly $6 trillion tracked in the study. “Hennepin County was the nation’s largest recipient of investment,” Nelson explained. “One of the major procurement contracts tied to the county is for production of the M1156 Precision Guidance Kit in Plymouth for Army and Marine Corps artillery.” Per capita, that comes out to $222,702 in spending per Hennepin County resident. That means the county ranked 11th nationally for the highest per capita federal spending. Per capita, the study found that Brewster County, Texas, received the most federal spending. The county averaged about $700,000 per resident during the period examined. “Much of that total can be tied to investments in border security and
