Catholic Health Services of Long Island, based in Rockville Centre, N.Y., said it intends to move nearly 200 jobs to Melville, N.Y., in a cost-cutting move that will also provide patients more space, reports Newsday.
The 191 employees affected by the move work in technology and administrative roles. They are in hospitals on Long Island: Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip, Mercy Medical Center in Rockville Centre, St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center in Smithtown, St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, St. Francis Hospital in Flower Hill and St. Joseph Hospital in Bethpage.
Under the health system's plan, employees will move to a "centralized corporate location" in Melville, according to the report. Dennis Verzi, COO of the Long Island health system, has indicated the space the system seeks to rent for that Melville location will include a center to train physicians in medical records.
