The second medical marijuana dispensary to open in Champaign County is now seeing its first customers. Nu Med is located at 105 East University in Urbana, the site of a former Blockbuster Video location. It joins Champaign-based Phoenix Botanical as the two dispensaries allowed by the state's pilot program in State Police District 10, which includes Champaign, Vermilion, and seven other Central Illinois counties.

In a statement, Jeff Ingrum, who's been CEO of Health Alliance Medical Plans for 18 years, is resigning in less than two weeks, saying he 'feels it's time to move on to something new.' 

Carle Foundation president and CEO James Leonard will become the new CEO at Health Alliance, while John M. Snyder, Carle Executive Vice President and System CEO will assume day-to-day operations at the insurer.
