Three health systems recently announced plans to lay off staff amid financial and spending obstacles.
Depending on the employees affected, ASCs in these markets could face a larger talent pool.
Here are three health systems that have announced layoffs since April 26:
1. Oakland-based Kaiser Foundation Hospitals is laying off 76 employees in California. The workforce reductions will affect 33 employees in Pleasanton, 25 in Pasadena, 11 in Oakland, 3 in San Diego, 2 in Downey, and 1 each in Sacramento and Burbank, primarily in IT and marketing.
2. Dallas-based White Rock Medical Center laid off 158 employees — nearly 35% of its staff. The hospital also resumed taking patients transported by emergency medical services after halting them temporarily due to the layoffs.
3. Sacramento, Calif.-based UC Davis Health is eliminating 150 positions, prompted by an increase in expenses.
