Chicago, Illinois-based CommonSpirit Health, a Catholic healthcare provider operating 142 hospitals and 700 care sites in 24 states, has announced a major reduction in force.
The personnel cuts will impact 2,000 full-time equivalent employee positions, mainly in ancillary, support, and overhead functions across the enterprise.
According to a company statement, "Like many health care providers, we are experiencing tremendous financial strain caused by a number of factors. As a result, we are taking steps to improve efficiency and effectiveness that may include changes that impact roles in our divisions and at the national office, as well as reduce our costs where appropriate."
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?
