UCare will lay off 102 employees at its Minneapolis headquarters at 600 Stinson Blvd., the company told state officials.[1]
UCare's notice to Minnesota's Department of Employment and Economic Development says the affected roles are mostly administrative and management positions.[1] The company says remaining staff have been kept on to transition state contracts to Medica, a task it expects to complete this fall.[1] An earlier listing to sell or lease UCare's 210,000-square-foot headquarters through Savills was pulled, and broker James Vos was unavailable for comment.[1]
UCare once employed more than 1,600 people.[1] UCare reported $6.36 billion in revenue in 2024, while Medica reported $7.3 billion in 2025 and has about 3,150 employees, highlighting market-share implications.[1]
