Unifor is concerned about recent layoffs at Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital. Twenty-seven personal support workers (PSWs) received layoff notices. The hospital plans to hire more registered practical nurses (RPNs). These new hires will not offset the loss of essential PSWs. Unifor believes these cuts will negatively impact patient care and staff.

As usual they are blaming Mount Sinai - just keeps getting worse for this place - CMS now this
The payer said that Mount Sinai had agreed on price increases but wanted Anthem to remove “contractural safeguards” protecting patients and employers from “billing errors and unnecessary costs.”
“These negotiations are about more than rates. They are about Anthem’s chronic denials of medically necessary care, delayed payments, and administrative practices that create barriers for patients and physicians alike,” Mount Sinai said in a statement on its website.
Layoffs have been deferred for now. I'm sure they'll be back on if the county doesn't figure out how to fix this, but any hope right now is a good thing.
Many lay offs at the corp office and many in the hospitals.

Hennepin Healthcare announced it will lay off about 100 employees and close or scale back several services as its financial crisis deepens. Leaders at Hennepin Healthcare said the publicly funded hospital is operating so far in the red that it needed a county line of credit to cover January payroll and must find at least $50 million in savings by the end of March.
The cuts include closing chiropractic, acupuncture, and sleep clinics, reducing stand-alone weight management services, transitioning senior and extended care to other systems, and shifting some pain management to primary care or outside providers. Officials cited fewer patients and sharp reductions in Medicaid reimbursements as key drivers of the crisis. While core services like trauma and burn care will be preserved, administrators warned this is likely the first of several difficult decisions ahead.
Regional Medical Center of Central Alabama has announced that it will lay off 90 employees and end inpatient care as it restructures its operations.

Lenox Hill Hospital, part of Northwell Health, plans to lay off more than 30 EMTs and paramedics within about 30 days while scaling back its ambulance fleet. Three units that currently handle 911 calls from West 72nd Street through Washington Heights will be removed, which frontline staff warn could mean longer response times. Five ambulances will remain in service, focused on Harlem and the Upper East Side.
The hospital says the cuts follow a strategic reassessment within the FDNY’s broader EMS network and aim to streamline operations. The move comes amid citywide financial strain on hospitals and warnings that New York’s healthcare system could lose about 8 billion dollars annually under new federal policies. Advocates and labor groups say reducing hospital based ambulances will add pressure to an already stretched 911 system. Northwell implemented similar reductions in Queens and Staten Island last year, and new city rules that direct patients to the nearest hospital may also be influencing deployment plans.
Overlake Medical Center and Clinics will cut 55 employees in November, part of a broader realignment as health care providers across Washington state contend with rising costs and reduced federal reimbursements.

These cuts will deeply affect both staff and patients, and the last thing anyone needs right now is a decline in the quality of care. I feel for all the colleagues who will be impacted - it’s heartbreaking. And honestly, even for those of us who stay, the strain and uncertainty ahead won’t be easy to carry.
Seattle Children’s Hospital will lay off more than 150 workers this fall, blaming the cuts on the loss of federal funding.
The hospital confirmed Wednesday that 154 employees will be laid off and 350 open positions will be eliminated, effective Nov. 15.

My good friend, a RN at Southern Hills Hospital, Las Vegas just got her layoff notice effective 10/3. It’s too bad, she would’ve been vested with the company the following month. (6 years). It’s too bad company’s treat their employees this way. Their focus is on profit, not patient care. I guess now they’ll dump more patients on the limited amount of staff there, but of course, CEO’s will still maintain their pay. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians! They could easily maintain adequate staff by just cutting a few from the top, and keeping the worker bees.
There are significant federal cuts to Medicaid spending ahead, along with a drop in the provider tax rate that states rely on to fund their Medicaid programs—from 6% down to 3.5%. This means hospitals will have fewer resources to pay staff, and patients will face reduced access to care. #hospitals #medicaid #healthcarelayoffs
I know some other #hospitals are having layoffs due to changes in ACA.
Nurses are hit hard with it.
We are adding more people, hiring. Many #hospitals do have layoffs right now though, things are not that good.
