UofL Health to Trim Workforce by Less Than 1% in System Restructuring

The system says the move will remove duplication to better focus investment in patient care.

Overview

  • UofL Health announced a workforce reduction of less than 1% as part of a push to modernize care delivery.
  • Leaders framed the changes as streamlining duplicative roles to leverage strengths across the network.
  • Impacted employees were offered transfer opportunities into open positions within the organization.
  • The system did not specify which departments or the exact number affected; local business data puts total staff near 15,000, making 1% about 150 roles.
