Horizon Health To Open Aberdeen Clinic

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) – A nonprofit organization that provides affordable health care at 18 medical and dental clinics in South Dakota is expanding into Aberdeen.
Howard-based Horizon Health Care Inc. has been awarded an $810,000 federal grant to open the clinic and will receive additional funding to operate it. The clinic will provide services on a sliding fee scale, meaning patients will be billed based on their ability to pay.  Horizon Chief Operating Officer Jeff Mengenhausen says the organization will hire seven employees in Aberdeen. A clinic site is still being selected.  The clinic is to open by early next year.
