The hospital chose to let some employees go and to not fill existing vacancies.
Hospital Board Chairman Glennie Bench said the lay offs will not affect patient care. Officials also said the reorganization was simply “another step” in securing the hospital’s financial viability and sustainability, according to the article.
“Obviously, we always hate to do this,” said Ms. Bench. “But, we looked at it from a productivity standpoint, regarding the volumes we are doing in the various departments. We took it at a department by department basis. If the volume changes, we will add jobs back.”
