Dallas, Texas-based Steward Health Care, a private for-profit healthcare system that uses an integrated care model to deliver healthcare across its hospitals and primary care locations, as well as through its managed care and health insurance services, has announced the closure of two Massachusetts acute care hospitals
The closures will impact 1,250 employees, including 753 workers at Carney Hospital and 490 workers at Nashoba Valley Medical Center.
According to a spokesperson, “The decision to close both Carney and Nashoba hospitals is one we deeply regret having to make. Steward is acutely aware of the difficulties this will impose on our dedicated and hardworking employees.”
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. While many employees can read the writing on the wall; why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
