JUNE 28, 2024 — 170+ EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING 81 IT EMPLOYEES TERMINATED
The company has announced that 81 employees at a Novant Health facility located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina will be permanently laid off on August 25, 2024.
In 2023, we announced a new IT model for our Digital Products and Services (DPS) team, transferring some DPS services to an external partner. As a continuation of this work, we are shifting additional DPS functions to Deloitte Digital, which will reduce our use of other external partners by more than 90 percent. These changes allow us to scale our resources so we can continue our investment in creating a healthier future for the people and communities we serve.
DPS team members will see adjustments in their roles and responsibilities because of this change, while other roles are being phased out. Fewer than 300 team members, or less than 0.8% of the nearly 40,000 positions across our health system, are impacted by this change. Interested team members may have the opportunity to join our external partners or transition to roles within Novant Health. For other team members, we are extending resources to ease the transition and are grateful for their service to Novant Health and our patients.
An additional 90 ayoffs will occur in Indian Land, South Carolina. on August 25, 2024.

Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based Novant Health, an integrated network of physician clinics, outpatient centers, and hospitals, has announced an organizational redesign, including a reduction in force.
The personnel realignment will impact 160 employees across the company's network, mainly in management and administrative roles. This is the second layoff, as the previous March 2023 impacted 50 employees, including executive positions.
According to a company spokesperson, “Novant Health is making changes across the health system as part of an organizational redesign plan. In a challenging healthcare environment, we are focused on how we can work differently to prioritize direct patient care, operate more efficiently, and reimagine how we serve our patients. This decision absolutely will not affect our ability to deliver high-quality, safe care to our patients and communities."
"Novant Health is a strong organization with a bold vision for the future, exploring new and different ways to innovate to deliver even better care and create remarkable experiences for our patients, people, and communities.”
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. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. 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?
