Another 43 people, on top of the 20 laid off earlier in the year, have lost their jobs at Mandanâs Heartview after the closure of its inpatient and detox services, according to executive director, Al Gillette. During the 1980s, Heartview had more than 100 staff members, but, since 1988, has experienced continued staff reductions, resulting in only eight people to staff the entire day treatment center. The cost cutting actions are a result of changes in insurance coverage called Managed Care, designed to cut medical costs by exchanging in-person services to outpatient treatment. The Mandan Heartview Foundation was established in 1964.
Temps recorded Tuesday, July 30 a high of 81 degrees; 49 above for the low.

Winter has left North Dakota with a final message another 3.1 inches of snow in the Bismarck-Mandan area, increasing this seasonâs snowfall to 77 inches. A slick mix of rain, sleet and snow fell across much of North Dakota, and, once again, regreased roads and slowed traffic to a white-knuckled crawl on many state highways. On the bright side, winter sports, including snowmobiles, sleds and building snowmen, are popular again, and the Huff Hills Skiing Resort can stay open another weekend.
