The announcement follows recent changes at Westchester Medical Center Health Network, of which Bon Secours Charity Health System is a member.

“We are implementing changes to our regional operating model, including new full-time leadership positions at each hospital, reporting directly to WMCHealth’s senior leadership,” WMCHealth said in a statement shared with Becker’s.

Andrew Pickens, MD, will serve as interim executive director of Bon Secours Charity Health System, according to the statement.

WMCHealth, a nine-hospital system, is also laying off about 130 people — less than 1% of its workforce. The layoffs affect management-level positions across all hospitals and do not affect patient-facing roles.

Bon Secours Charity Health System includes three hospitals and is a market within Cincinnati-based Bon Secours Mercy Health system.

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.
