Bayonne, N.J.-based CarePoint Health, the hospital chain that owns Bayonne (N.J.) Medical Center, Christ Hospital in Jersey City, N.J., and Hoboken (N.J.) University Medical Center, has laid off dozens of workers at each hospital and its Jersey City corporate office, according to The Jersey Journal.
Here are four things to know about the layoffs.
