Bemidji is a regional health care center
From Sister Amata and her turn-of-the-20th-century loggers' insurance plan to the Bemidji Clinic, which opened in 1947 and became MeritCare-Bemidji in 1988, to the expanded and enhanced North Country Health Services, Bemidji has been a regional health care center.
A 38-year-old Bemidji woman died Wednesday evening after succumbing to ``extreme injuries'' suffered in a weekend crash, authorities said.
