DMC spokesperson Melanie Moss told Crain’s Detroit Business the 22 job cuts were for “better care coordination.” She added, “It is a small percentage of our 12,000 employees.”
The layoffs took place days before DMC announced a new integrated executive management team would serve three Detroit hospitals — DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital, Harper University Hospital and Hutzel Women’s Hospital. The three-hospital executive team includes a COO, CFO and CMO, led by CEO Scott Steiner.
A Crain’s Detroit Business analysis found DMC laid off or left vacant more than 325 positions over the last three years.
