AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT MARINHEALTH MEDICAL CENTER

Greenbrae, California-based MarinHealth Medical Center. a 327-bed independent regional medical facility, has announced the outsourcing of its administrative operations to an independent third party, Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based Optum, a division of UnitedHealthcare, who will provide supply chain and revenue cycle services.

The operational transfer will impact 104 non-contractual revenue cycle and supply chain employees in California, including 48 employees in Greenbrae, 41 employees in San Rafael, 12 employees in Larkspur, and three employees in Novato. The separations are scheduled for April 9, 2022.

According to a company statement, “We look forward to working with Optum to improve business processes through cutting-edge technologies and actionable strategies. This new relationship allows our doctors and nurses to focus on what they do best, which is take care of patients, while Optum helps us to support some of our operational and administrative functions.”

Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
