HCA will lay off 97 employees when it shuts down Sister Emmanuel Hospital, but some of the employees could transfer to other HCA facilities.
“There are a number of open positions within our affiliated facilities in the area, and we believe most of our affected employees will find employment opportunities,” Sister Emmanuel Hospital said in a letter accompanying its Oct. 3 Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice.
Sister Emmanuel Hospital had a 90.1 percent occupancy rate in 2017 and recorded a $152,210 profit on net revenue of $12.1 million, according to the South Florida Business Journal, which cited information from the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration.
