The system did not provide details about the layoffs, citing its policy not to discuss specific personnel issues.
A statement from Bon Secours says the layoffs are a result of Bon Secours examining “how we can best meet our community’s needs while serving as good stewards of our health ministry and its resources.”
“To ensure we can meet the healthcare needs of our patients well into the future, we are identifying efficiencies, processes and best practices to help serve our community and keep our ministry viable,” the statement reads.
Bon Secours spokesperson Emma Swann told Becker’s patients will not be left without a physician, and Bon Secours will work to ensure patient care is not interrupted.
The system’s statement adds, “We will continue to hire in areas that will allow us to continue delivering high-quality care and will scale back in other areas as appropriate.”
