Nearly 30 employees laid off at California hospital

Tulare (Calif.) Regional Medical Center and its parent company, HealthCare Conglomerate Associates, laid off nearly 30 employees earlier this month, reports Visalia Times-Delta.

HCCA vice president of marketing Kathleen Johnson did not specifically mention the layoffs in a news release sent to the Visalia Times-Delta. However, she said the "actions taken recently are in accordance with our planned and ongoing strategic realignment of the hospital's operations. We continue to streamline operations, improve efficiencies and healthcare delivery to our community."

She declined to tell the publication how many people were laid off, but other local healthcare professionals estimate the number to be 29, according to the article. Affected employees include nurses and others with patient care responsibilities, as well as people in the hospital's lab and pharmacy.

The layoffs follow the failure last month of Tulare Local HealthCare District's $55 million bond measure, which was to complete the hospital's stalled tower project, reports Visalia Times-Delta.
