New York City-based One Brooklyn Health has cut more than 50 roles across the system.
The reductions include leadership and nonclinical administrative roles and are part of a broader realignment aimed at improving operational efficiency and long-term financial sustainability, according to a Feb. 4 health system statement shared with Becker’s.
The realignment followed an assessment of the safety-net system’s structure, services and performance.
“While the financial pressures facing safety-net hospitals across New York and the country are very real and now at our doorstep, this decision was ultimately driven by a forward-looking evaluation of OBH’s internal operations and the need to make responsible, data-informed changes in support of our mission,” the statement said.
No core clinical services or essential community-based programs were eliminated, and patient care remains the system’s highest priority, according to the statement.
One Brooklyn Health operates Brookdale Hospital Medical Center, Interfaith Medical Center, 14 ambulatory care sites and two nursing facilities.
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.
