Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center, part of Great River Health, plans to lay off 56 people from the West Burlington location and 11 people from its Fort Madison, Iowa, location. The layoffs will take effect on Feb. 23, 2024.
The hospitals have faced challenges over the last few years. Great River reported a $40 million loss in the 2022 fiscal year and scaled back services in August of that year. The health system limited bed capacity for Southeast Iowa Rgional’s acute care, cardiovascular and intensive care units.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
