More MercyOne layoffs announced in Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (KCRG) – MercyOne Medical Center in Des Moines will lay off 67 workers, effective March 17.
That’s according to a new listing on Iowa WARN.
Employees were notified on Monday.
TV9 reached out to MercyOne by email Thursday morning, asking for a reason behind those layoffs in Des Moines.
This comes just a couple weeks after MercyOne announced it will be closing its clinic in Ottumwa.
Forty people will be laid off when that clinic closes on February 27.
In a statement about the closure in Ottumwa, MercyOne said:
“MercyOne regularly evaluates operations to adapt to changing demographics and needs. This evaluation process is driven by our need to strengthen our ministry by expanding access where possible and consolidating or relocating services where barriers exist, ensuring sustainability and growth in a swiftly changing health care environment.“
