Moss Regional Medical Center employees received notices on Tuesday of impending layoffs, effective March 5. However, the layoffs are not yet an absolute certainty, according to Chance Landry, Director of Public Relations at the hospital.
Landry states that the notification is part of a formality, per state civil service law, in case the hospital does move forward with layoffs. The plan still needs approval from the Director of Civil Service.
According to the notice, the layoffs are being proposed “due to the inability of the Health Care Services Division to realize the additional federal funding for care delivered to the uninsured and Medicaid population amounting to $29 million during the current fiscal year.”
Among those who would be affected by the layoffs include the hospital’s 243 full-time employees.
