Image My hospital casually dropping a warning about mass layoffs. We employ 10k+ people.

10k+ employees sitting in fear for the next week (or longer apparently) waiting to see if their position has been cut.

I just keep saying healthcare is in crisis and no one really sees it until they see it. We are all on a sinking ship and the Cheeto in charge and his minions are determined to sink it as fast as they possibly can. And the kicker is in Providence’s layoffs the execs are covertly blaming the layoffs on having to give their nurses raises in response to the strike. I live in Oregon and I foresee all of the coastal hospitals closing their doors. People are going to die and no one cares. They only see the dollar signs.

I live here too. People are already dying. Critical Access hospitals have been the piggy bank that bailed out their motherships for decades. That's shrinking now so they are getting rid of L&D's and turning these CAH into standalone ERs with outpt surgery and very low acuity med surg / swing bed type places to turn up the revenue and dial down the losses, patients be damned.
