St. Francis hospital lays off 58 workers
St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn has laid off 58 full-time workers in areas ranging from administration to nursing, a decision that officials said was designed to balance the hospital's budget.
The St. John Providence Health System announced late Thursday that it's laying off 160 employees because of a decline in hospital patient volume, the federal sequester and the anticipation of smaller future increases in reimbursement rates for Medicare and Medicaid.
