WEST VIRGINIA NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Weirton Medical Center announces February layoffs January 07, 2009 3:33 PM WEIRTON, W.Va.
Weirton Medical Center will eliminate the equivalent of 36 full-time jobs next month but can't yet say how many employees will be laid off. President Joseph Endrich says the cuts will save $2 million a year. He said Wednesday they will include union, non-union and management positions. Endrich says the administration spent five months identifying areas where patient care could be provided at lower cost. Operations and staffing levels in every department were compared to more than 400 similar hospitals nationwide. He says the reductions won't affect the quality of care, but will position the hospital for growth. Spokesman Kevin Brown says the reductions have more to do with sound fiscal management than the overall economy. The hospital employs 1,090 people. |
