Toyin Ajayi, MD, CEO and co-founder of Cityblock Health, wrote in a blog post June 8 that the workforce reduction was due in part to the company’s expansion efforts.
“Some of the critical changes we’ve made to enable key processes through technology, standardize our care teams, and reduce layers for stronger accountability, unfortunately, require parting ways with a number of our incredible colleagues,” Dr. Ajayi wrote. “These changes are part of the company’s maturation, ensuring that we are even better positioned to tackle the next chapter of growth and impact.”
All laid off staff were notified in one-on-one meetings, according to the blog post, and will be provided severance packages and information on extended medical insurance through COBRA.
This is Cityblock’s second round of layoffs this year. In WARN filings published May 8, the company said it would lay off 60 employees in Washington, D.C.
