FARGO (AP) - MeritCare Health System will soon open the doors to a new Fargo facility that houses kidney dialysis and sleep centers.

The two programs are just a few blocks from their former location on MeritCare's South University campus.

The kidney dialysis center can serve 142 patients and more than 30 on home dialysis. Center manager Wanda Borchert said the new facility offers room and more privacy for patients.

The sleep center has eight exam rooms and 10 other rooms where sleeping patients can be monitored.

The first sleep center patients will stay overnight Sunday. The new dialysis center opens Monday.

An open house was held Friday.
