AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT EAGLE HEALTHCARE

Oakland Park, Florida-based Eagle Healthcare, a provider of contract healthcare services and staffing, has announced its intention to permanently close its Florida operations following the loss of a major contract linked to Medicaid managed care plans operating within Florida.

The closure will impact 250 employees statewide and commencing on July 14, 2025. This closure affects 11 facilities across Florida, including locations in Dania Beach, Davenport, Dunedin, Greenville, Jacksonville, Lake Worth, Miami, Monticello, Oakland Park, Port Saint Joe, and Sarasota.

According to a company statement, "We regret to inform you that Eagle Healthcare LLC will be permanently reducing its workforce due to the unexpected loss of a significant contract, which has had a substantial impact on our operations."

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?

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT BLUE DIAMOND GROWERS

Sacramento, California-based Blue Diamond Growers, an agricultural cooperative and marketing organization that specializes in California almonds, has announced the closure of its close historic midtown Sacramento plant over the next two years and relocate most of its manufacturing operations to facilities in Turlock and Salida, California, moving production closer to its network of California farmers.

The closure will impact 600 employees in phases over the next 18 to 24 months, with around 10% of plant employees being laid off by the end of 2025.

President and CEO Kai Bockmann noted, “Our Sacramento team’s work ethic and incredible drive have enabled us to build Blue Diamond into what it is today. However, the challenges of running a plant from these historical buildings have become too costly and inefficient. Streamlining our manufacturing plants is the right business move to further strengthen our market-leading position and bring increased value to our grower members.

Even though most employees will not leave this year, we want to be transparent and tell our people as soon as possible.”

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT INCYTE DIAGNOSTICS

Spokane Valley, Washington-based Incyte Diagnostics, following the recent acquisition of select assets of its clinical and anatomic pathology testing businesses by Burlington, North Carolina-based Labcorp, has issued a WARN notice affecting all 310 of its employees who may be laid off starting August 4, 2025..

This legal notification, required under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, is a precautionary step triggered by the change in ownership and potential restructuring.

While the notice formally signals the possibility of job losses, it does not necessarily mean all employees will be laid off. Labcorp may choose to retain some or all of the existing workforce as part of the integration process.

Incyte pathologists will continue to offer professional anatomic pathology services to examine and interpret tissue samples, while Labcorp will provide tissue processing and slide preparation services.

The issuance of the WARN notice ensures compliance with federal labor laws while providing employees with transparency and time to prepare for any changes to their employment status.

Similar notices may be filed for other locations as the assets that Labcorp is acquiring involve multiple same-day testing labs and some technical assets of Incyte Diagnostics’ anatomic pathology business, including its two labs in Spokane Valley and its patient service center locations in North Spokane, Deer Park, Post Falls, Hayden, and elsewhere. The pending acquisition also includes Incyte's labs in Tukwila, Washington; Richland, Washington; and Missoula, Montana.
