MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) — UnityPoint Health in Marshalltown says it’s eliminating several positions and closing its intensive care unit and a cafe. The company cited financial struggles and low usage of the care unit. UnityPoint Health regional marketing director Laura Rainey says the Marshalltown operation is running a $7 million deficit. The closure of the ICU and cafe will affect 15 employees. The hospital says the 15 may be able to find employment elsewhere within the UnityPoint system.

Rainey says the closest intensive care units after the Nov. 30 Marshalltown closing are in Ames and Waterloo.
