Overview

• CentraCare has informed Minnesota regulators of plans to eliminate about 535 positions across 44 hospitals and clinics
• Approximately 70 percent of the roles targeted are administrative and support staff while the remainder are patient-care positions
• The health system has sent an early state notice of pending layoffs but has not filed a formal WARN notice
• CentraCare is prioritizing redeployment of affected workers into roughly 350 existing vacancies systemwide, which may reduce the final head count
• Last fiscal reports show the organization’s slim 1.2 percent operating margin turned into a $19.8 million loss as costs outpace reimbursements
