County Commissioner David Carrington said in the report that Cooper Green had a staff budget of roughly $36 million. That total will be slashed by more than 30 percent to $25 million this upcoming year, meaning that roughly 250 hospital employees could lose their jobs.
In August, the County Commission also voted to close inpatient services at Cooper Green.
