EMHS laying off 35 employees
As part of its effort to reduce operating costs in its information systems department, Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems will be laying off 35 employees within the department at the end of August.
The layoffs come after EMHS offered an early retirement package in June to 42 qualifying staff members in an effort to avoid a $3 million shortfall in the department. According to the Bangor Daily News, only 13 of those employees accepted the offer.
According to the BDN, most of the employees being laid off are based in the health care provider’s Cianchette Building in Brewer.
EMHS spokeswoman Suzanne Spruce told the BDN that those affected by the layoffs could apply for other open positions within EMHS or can use the health care system’s career center for assistance.
