Ogdensburg, New York-based North Star Health Alliance, a collaborative system of healthcare organizations serving community health and well-being, has announced a reduction-in-force.
The reduction will impact 120 employees, including management, clinical, and non-clinical staff.
President and CEO Richard Duvall noted, “We expect the impact to be around 120 positions, and that’s almost a 50-50 split between the two campuses. We understand behind every position is a person, behind that person is a family, and obviously, these decisions affect all of those folks."
North Star operates Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center and Campus in Ogdensburg, as well as Carthage Area Hospital.
Change is constant, and it's coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, 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?
