Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based Novant Health, an integrated network of physician clinics, outpatient centers, and hospitals, has announced an organizational redesign, including a reduction in force.
The personnel realignment will impact 160 employees, mainly in management and administrative roles, across the company's network. This is the second layoff as the previous March 2023 impacted 50 employees, including executive positions.
According to a company spokesperson, “Novant Health is making changes across the health system as part of an organizational redesign plan. In a challenging healthcare environment, we are focused on how we can work differently to prioritize direct patient care, operate more efficiently, and reimagine how we serve our patients. This decision absolutely will not affect our ability to deliver high-quality, safe care to our patients and communities."
"Novant Health is a strong organization with a bold vision for the future, exploring new and different ways to innovate to deliver even better care and create remarkable experiences for our patients, people, and communities.”
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?
