Woodbury, N.J.-based Inspira Health Network could lay off 67 employees next month due to a pending partnership venture, The Daily Journal reports.
Denver-based DaVita Kidney Care, a division of DaVita HealthCare Partners, is slated to join Inspira Health Network in southern New Jersey. Under the deal, DaVita will gain majority ownership of three Inspira dialysis centers in Vineland, Millville and Bridgeton, N.J.
This pending partnership means dialysis service personnel in Bridgeton, Millville and Vineland could lose their jobs by Aug. 10, according to the report, which cites notices filed with the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The state notified 67 Inspira employees this month.
Inspira spokesman Greg Potter told The Daily Journal Inspira is looking to offer new positions to the affected employees.
"We are working to place them within our joint venture with DaVita," Mr. Potter told the publication. "We anticipate that we'll have placements for all these employees. We're looking to keep them with us."
