The Daily Courier, citing a press release, reported that the current services provided by the hospital would continue and bedside clinical nurses would not be affected. The cuts are expected to result in about $1.76 million in savings, according to the report.
Penn Highlands Connellsville President John Andursky said that all options were carefully considered.
“It is regrettable anytime there is a workforce reduction; however, this step was necessary to help our hospital regain financial stability,” Mr. Andursky said in the press release.
