St. Paul, MN – The Minneapolis Star Tribune has named IC System one of Minnesota’s Top 200 Workplaces. Minnesota employees were surveyed about their employers, and 200 businesses across the state were selected. A complete list of the businesses is available in the Star Tribune and appeared in the newspaper’s Top Workplaces special section on Sunday, June 19.

The Star Tribune’s Top Workplaces award acknowledges the most progressive companies in Minnesota based on employee opinions measuring engagement, organizational health, and satisfaction. The analysis included responses from thousands of employees at Minnesota businesses, including public, private, and nonprofit organizations.

“Having IC System listed among the Star Tribune’s Top 200 Workplaces is such an honor,” said John Erickson, President and CEO. “We’re in the third generation of family ownership at IC System, so I’m happy to carry on my family’s tradition of giving people a place where they enjoy working. As a result, our employees tend to feel like they’re part of a family.”

John continued, “It makes me proud to know we’ve created a working environment where employees feel engaged and enjoy working here. Whether employees work remotely or at the office, we want them to feel part of the IC System culture.”

The surveys to compile the rankings of the Star Tribune Top 200 Workplaces are collected by Energage, an independent organization specializing in employee engagement and retention.

To qualify for the Star Tribune Top Workplaces, a company must have more than 50 employees in Minnesota. Thousands of companies were invited to participate. The rankings were based on composite scores calculated based on employee responses.

IC System ranked 42nd in the midsize business category. The Star Tribune also named IC System a Top Workplace in 2017; a Top 150 Workplace in 2018, 2019, and 2020; and a Top 175 Workplace in 2021.

“Our focus at IC System is people,” said Joe Erickson, Director of Human Resources. “‘People’ is our number one Core Value. Everything else is secondary. Our business focuses on employees, clients, and consumers by treating people with the dignity and respect they deserve. When you do that, everything else about the business falls into place. That’s our philosophy, and I think the Top Workplace recognition shows that our approach is working and employees above all have great experiences with IC System.”

The EU’s MDR delay buys time, but it won’t clear your commissioning bottleneck

The European Commission backed extending EU MDR transition deadlines to December 2027 and December 2028, Medical Design & Outsourcing reported. It buys time, not ramp-up capacity. Design News cites digital commissioning and machine digital twins to cut “power-on” surprises and speed validation and operator training.

  • 01If an EU portfolio includes Class III, December 2027 is now the planning anchor, but the internal gating item may shift to validation capacity and automation readiness, not paperwork.
  • 02Digital commissioning is becoming a procurement spec, not a buzzword, because it lets teams run DFM/DFA learning loops before hardware is built, which Design News notes is meant to reduce machine power-on surprises.

HCA’s Q1 was not about volume. It was about coverage and collecting cash

HCA Healthcare reaffirmed 2026 guidance after Q1 weather and a muted respiratory season cut adjusted EBITDA by about $180 million, according to HealthLeaders and Fierce Healthcare. Payer mix shifted fast. Exchange admissions fell about 15% and uninsured admissions rose about 16%, Fierce reported.

  • 01A mild flu season can be a margin event: HCA tied a 42% drop in respiratory admissions to a roughly $180M adjusted EBITDA hit (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare).
  • 02The 2026 risk is sliding from demand to coverage: HCA cited a $600M–$900M full-year EBITDA headwind from exchange-related changes, with $150M already in Q1 (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare).
  • 03Supplemental payments are becoming an operating capability, not a windfall: HCA said Q1 Medicaid program net benefit was about $200M vs $80M expected (HealthLeaders, Fierce Healthcare), putting state-by-state reimbursement strategy on the CFO’s critical path.

Dental practice exits are turning into multi-year projects, not last-year decisions

Dental practice exits are turning into multi-year projects, not last-year decisions

Associate-led dental practice successions can take 3–5+ years. Dental Economics says associate-to-buyout timelines often run three to five-plus years. That pushes revenue-cycle controls, buy-sell terms, and tax structure earlier, before a buyer appears.

  • 01A practical benchmark is emerging for succession: bringing in an associate with intent to buy can take a minimum of three years and often more than five, according to Dental Economics.
  • 02If accounts receivable looks “high,” it may be a bookkeeping and posting problem before it is a payer problem, a revenue-cycle diagnostic Group Dentistry Now says shows up frequently at scale.
  • 03Exit planning is now an operating system project: valuation, tax positioning, and transition support belong in the same workstream, because deal structure can lock in or foreclose tax options, per Dental Economics.
