Durham, North Carolina-based Duke University Health System, a multi-organizational integrated healthcare institution, has announced an organizational restructuring that it claims will “right-size and realign” its structure, both administratively and operationally.
The organizational realignment will impact 280 positions.
According to a statement provided by Duke Health officials, “After careful consideration and in-depth analysis over many months, Duke University Health System has identified opportunities to right-size and realign the structure of some of its administrative and operational functions.
"Approximately 280 positions were identified for reduction. Positions will primarily be reduced through retirements, redeployments, and closures of vacant positions. Fewer than 50 positions in administrative and managerial roles are affected. These employees will be provided support through outplacement services and redeployments where possible."
"Duke University Health System remains steadfast in its mission to advance the way we deliver care and remain a vital resource to those who come to us for hope, health, and healing.”
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?
