Millinocket Regional Hospital in Maine Lays Off 3, Shifts Employees to Part Time

Millinocket (Maine) Regional Hospital is planning to eliminate three employees and reduce hours for other staff, according to a Bangor Daily News report.

Nine employees will be reduced to part-time status, effective August 1. The layoffs won't affect clinical services, according to the report.

The reorganization was prompted by declining reimbursements, a 13 percent reduction in the regional population within the past decade and increased medical costs, according to Millinocket Regional CEO Marie Vienneau. The 25-bed critical access hospital has recently seen a $1.5 million budget shortfall and $500,000 operational loss.

The layoffs and reductions in hours will help the hospital save about $550,000 over the next fiscal year.
