The health system, which operates in four states, said the restructuring is due to financial pressures, including declining reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid.

Mercy didn’t describe the roles that would be eliminated, but said the company will cut “targeted positions.”
Affected employees will receive severance packages, and Mercy will help them find new jobs, the health system said.
