The cuts represent 6 percent of the locations’ workforce. Employees in ancillary, support and clinical positions will be affected, according to the report. The workforce reduction is due to lower inpatient volumes.

Earlier this year, Franciscan Alliance announced it was looking for a system to take over the two hospitals. According to Crain’s, Franciscan Alliance is still seeking a joint venture partner or a system to acquire the organizations.
