Western Maryland Health System to Reduce Staff

Cumberland, Md.-based Western Maryland Health System has announced staffing reductions through attrition and layoffs, according to a Cumberland Times-News report.

WMHS CEO Barry Ronan said the system needs to reduce its spending by at least 10 to 15 percent over the next five years and that "organizational transformation" has begun and will continue throughout the next four fiscal years.

System spokesperson Kathy Rogers said that while most jobs will be eliminated through attrition, there will be some "involuntary separations," according to the report. The staffing reduction is expected to be implemented Oct. 1.

The specific number of employees affected by the staffing changes was not included in the report.
