Vibra Specialty Hospital of Portland (Ore.) will close on or around Feb. 1 and lay off 310 employees due to financial challenges that have made it “unsustainable to continue operations,” according to a Dec. 1 Oregon WARN notice. 

Some of the affected positions at the critical care hospital include CEO, chief marketing officer, chief clinical officer, dialysis nurse manager, director of pharmacy, director of nursing and director of human resources. 

“All impacted employees are being, or have been, directly notified of separation at least 60 days before their separations are scheduled to occur,” the WARN notice said. “No affected employees will have the right to bump or displace other employees, and there is no union representing any of the affected employees.”

Vibra Specialty Hospital of Portland is a critical care hospital that is part of Mechanicsburg, Pa.-based Vibra Healthcare, which comprises medical rehabilitation hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and critical care hospitals across 14 states, according to its website.
