Healthcare Conglomerate Associates, which owns and operates the public hospital, confirmed layoffs occurred but did not specify the exact number.

The news comes after voters defeated a $55 million bond measure that would have financed construction of a tower addition on TRMC’s campus. Hospital officials said they will continue to seek alternative financing, according to the article.

“To be able to [finance the tower], we must ensure that the hospital remains operationally and financially successful,” HCCA said in a prepared statement.
