Additionally, members of the hospital’s management team are taking a 5 percent cut in pay, and some employees’ hours will be cut, according to the report.
Hospital officials said the federal sequester’s cuts to Medicare reimbursement, as well as Missouri’s failure to expand Medicaid, were the reasons for the cuts.
Two other Missouri-based healthcare systems — BJC Healthcare in St. Louis and University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia — recently implemented workforce reductions that were tied to reimbursement changes.
