The layoffs will affect administrative, technical and clerical workers but will also have some impact on clinical positions, according to the report. The system boasts more than 1,750 employees.

A combination of factors contributed to the layoffs decision, including declining reimbursements and a decline in inpatient volumes, according to the report.

Sharon Regional was acquired by Franklin, Tenn.-based Community Health Systems earlier this year.
