Providence Everett issues layoff notices to over 100 nursing assistants
EVERETT — Providence Swedish officially gave layoff notices to more than 100 certified nursing assistants at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett on Wednesday.
The layoffs are part of a larger restructuring by Providence that will cut 600 full-time equivalent positions across seven states, the organization announced in a press release Thursday.
In the release, Providence cited proposed cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, delayed payments from insurers, medical and pharmaceutical inflation, and higher labor costs as reasons for the cuts. The restructuring will not impact any other positions in Snohomish County, Providence Everett spokesperson Ed Boyle said Thursday.
Last month, Providence Everett management informed nursing assistants of their plan to reduce staffing and offered a voluntary separation package.
