Vanguard Health Systems has begin to restructure Sinai-Grace Hospital in Detroit, part of eight-hospital Detroit Medical Center, according to a Crain's Detroit Business report.
Vanguard acquired the ailing hospital system at the end of December.
The restructuring includes the recent layoffs of 20 employees not involved in patient care — a move that will allow the hospital to hire 20 new workers who are directly involved in patient care, according to the report.
Vanguard pledged not to close any DMC facilities for 10 years, but it did not make a similar pledge regarding layoffs.
