SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) – On Monday, about 60 Trinity Health At Home employees will be laid off.
The job cuts were announced in July.
At Home Trinity Health President and CEO Mark McPherson explained the reason for the layoffs in a statement. He said:
The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the healthcare business forever. As we anticipate and plan for the potential changes a global pandemic will bring, the negative impact and lasting effects are beyond anyone’s imagination. Nationally, health systems are facing wide shifts in patient populations, staffing challenges including high-cost agency contracts, and increasing supply and pharmacy costs.
At Trinity Health Home, we are addressing these challenges with long-term and short-term solutions so we can continue our mission of caring for the many communities that depend on us. After much thought, we have made the difficult but important decision to close our Massachusetts agency, including both home care and hospice, at Trinity Health Home of New England. Our Connecticut agency remains open.
