Urbana, Illinois-based Carle Health, a regional integrated medical plan and health provider, continues the closing of its Health Alliance Medical Plans subsidiary with a reduction in force.
The reduction will impact 612 Health Alliance employees and will commence on July 8, 2025. Almost all Health Alliance plans would be shut down by Jan. 1, 2026, except for Medicare Advantage plans.
According to a company spokesperson, “As Health Alliance and FirstCarolinaCare continue to wind down operations, the organization will reduce staff on a rolling basis."
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 terrible 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. 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?
