The health system said it expects 13 positions will be eligible for voluntary separation and about five positions will be permanently eliminated. St. Mary’s healthcare has about 1,600 employees.
A spokesperson for St. Mary’s said the decision is a result of industry trends like decreasing patient volume and lower reimbursement that predated the pandemic, but that the COVID-19 crisis added financial pressure.
St. Mary’s Healthcare operates a main hospital campus in Amsterdam, a nursing home, several medical offices as well as programs at its former Amsterdam Memorial Hospital campus.
