The health system cited the economy and patients postponing medical care as contributing to the need for the cuts, which will not affect patient care, according to the report.

The hospital lost $30 million last year and expected losses for 2009 if the cuts were not made, according to the report. The most recent layoffs will be the third set of layoffs the hospital has made this year.
