The facility has fewer than 100 employees, but the number who will be laid off is unknown, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

To continue serving the Tampa Bay area, Shriners will partner with another healthcare provider starting April 1, Shriners spokesperson Mel Bower told the newspaper.

“We see this as a step forward,” Mr. Bower said. “We believe there are local affiliates that can provide that care more efficiently than we can in our current model.”

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
