The CEO of St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center in Pueblo, Colo., said two-thirds of the estimated 300 employees affected by the hospital's restructuring plan will have new jobs in the near future, according to KOAA.
Mike Cafasso, CEO of St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center, said those two-thirds employees will either have a new job or offers for a new job by the end of May, according to the report. He noted the hospital will continue to try to help the remaining affected workers.
St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center, part of Centennial, Colo.-based Centura Health, in March revealed plans to lay off about 300 employees and scale back its telemetry and intensive care unit.
Efforts have since been ongoing to help affected employees in various ways, including job fairs, according to the report.
Mr. Cafasso estimated "nearly two-thirds of our people or a little over two-thirds of our people" have offers in employment, either with Centura or somewhere else.
The hospital's restructuring plan — which also includes expanding the surgical unit, hiring more staff, growing cancer care and increasing orthopedics and joint replacement services — is expected to begin in May.
