WellStar to Cut 42 Jobs From Cobb Hospital in Georgia

Marietta, Ga.-based WellStar Health System is eliminating 42 jobs from its Cobb Hospital in Austell, Ga., according to a Marietta Daily Journal report.

Positions cut from the 382-bed hospital include registered nurses and staff members who transport patients throughout departments.

WellStar officials are hoping to reassign those employees to different positions. The company has a mandatory transfer and displacement policy, in which eligible staff must be offered a position within this system.

A WellStar spokesperson said the layoffs are due to lower patient volumes and an increase in uninsured patients.
