The Regional Medical Center is laying off less than 3 percent of its employees in an effort to make the hospital more efficient, President and CEO Charles Williams said Wednesday.
The layoffs, which began Monday, are impacting employees throughout the hospital, he said.
“As part of a strategic plan that focuses on core business, we are implementing cost-reduction strategies that include reducing overtime, eliminating agency staff, flexing staff, filling only emergent vacant positions, staff reductions and all aspects of health care system operations," Williams said.
