Marshfield Clinic will lay off 346 people, the health care system announced Wednesday.
Marshfield Clinic says the decision comes “against the backdrop of a health care industry challenged by skyrocketing labor costs, higher supply expenses and reduction in reimbursements.”
Marshfield Clinic Health System employs over 12,000 people in Wisconsin. The clinic says the layoffs represent less than 3% of their employee base.
Additionally, Marshfield eliminated 500 unfilled positions, which the clinic said “allowed the Health System to lessen the impact on employees.”
The following is a list according to the Wisconsin DWD Warn notice of affected locations and the number of employees/positions:
Colby (1), Marshfield (60), Rhinelander (1), Minocqua (11), Weston (14), Merrill (4), Wausau (14), Stevens Point (1), Stratford (1), Wisconsin Rapids (1), Woodruff (1), Hayward (2), Ladysmith (8), Park Falls (9), Caddot (3), Eau Claire (16), Chippewa Falls (5), Rice Lake (13), Neillsville (10), and Beaver Dam (47).
The WARN Notice from Marshfield Clinic Health System stated that all affected employees will be notified between March 1-15, with permanent layoffs taking effect May 19.
