UCare, a Minnesota health plan, will lay off 102 employees at its Minneapolis facility as part of its ongoing wind-down process. Medica and UCare announced a definitive acquisition agreement on November 17, 2025, covering certain UCare contracts and assets, after which UCare halted new contract applications. A Ramsey County District Court placed UCare into rehabilitation in December 2025, setting the stage for the workforce reductions. Staffing agencies in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro may find placement opportunities as these displaced workers seek new roles.
