United Memorial Medical Center in New York to Shutter Some Services

United Memorial Medical Center in Batavia, N.Y., will close its Byron Family Care Center and the Cardiac Rehab Department by March 2012 due to "unsustainable patient volumes."

The announcement will result in the elimination of 16 positions, with the equivalent hours of approximately 14 full-time employees. The eliminated positions include four registered nurses and one licensed practical nurse. The affected individuals are being offered severance packages and, where appropriate, options to extend their healthcare coverage. If qualified, they will be encouraged to apply for and be considered for other positions within the organization.
