West Reading, Pennsylvania-based Tower Health, a regional integrated healthcare provider/payer system, has announced a reduction in force to counter losses attributed to reduced patient counts and lower reimbursement rates. Approximately 1,000 employees will be impacted by the permanent layoffs.
Even though the company previously furloughed more than 1,000 employees in April 2020, the losses through May 2020 totaled $212 million.
According to a company spokesperson, “The government-mandated closure of many outpatient facilities and the suspension of elective procedures caused a 40 percent drop in system revenue. At the same time, our spending increased for personal protective equipment, staff support, and COVID-related equipment needs.”
"Tower said positions will be eliminated in executive, management, clinical, and support areas. The cuts include consolidations of clinical operations. Tower is aiming to trim expenses by $230 million over the next two years, Matthews told staff."
“The decision to reduce our workforce has been difficult and painful because it impacts lives. It is necessary, however, to ensure that Tower Health can continue to serve the community with high-quality health care in the months and years ahead.”
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. 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?
