Fairview Health Services Announces 250 Job Cuts Amidst Mounting Pressures
Fairview Health Services is set to eliminate around 250 positions in response to financial constraints, with most of the cuts affecting part-time employees. The layoffs come after talks of a merger with Sanford Health fell through and as the University of Minnesota explores other options for its teaching hospitals. The company expects the layoffs to be finalized by the end of the year and is offering job-seeking assistance and training for other open positions within the company. Fairview emphasizes that the layoffs make up less than 1% of its total workforce and are not expected to impact operations.
