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.
