After layoffs, Independence commits to keeping hospitals open

After cutting hundreds of positions, Greensburg, Pa.-based Independence Health System is committing to keeping open all five of its hospitals, the Tribune-Review reported Aug. 1.

The system was created at the beginning of 2023 through a merger of Butler (Pa.) Health System and Greensburg-based Excela Health. Over the nine-month period ending March 31, the system lost $62 million.
