Heartland Health has announced it will cut around 50 positions across the organization due to changes in staffing needs.
In a news release issued late Tuesday the hospital said because of industry trends towards fewer hospital inpatient services it is looking at more outpatient care and primary-care services and will focus more on preventative and health wellness.
Some of the adjustments Heartland Health and HRMC will make will include the accommodate of surgery center patients at the HRMC surgey suite to decrease what it calls “redundant services to creating a cost savings.”
As a result the news release said around 50 position across the organization will be impacted by the announcement representating a 1.3-percent total of its 3,760 caregivers and includes a cross section of job responsibilities across all areas of the organization. Senior leadership, clinical and support staff caregivers will be looked at for cuts. The hospital said a portion of the positions being cut are currently open positions.
The hospital states that the Heartland Talent Agency will be working with the vast majority of these caregivers to help them redeploy into other open positions within the system for the next 60 days.
