The Brunswick-based Parkview Adventist Medical Center has cut 16 positions, citing a decline in patient volume and outstanding government payments.
The Times Record reported the cuts represent around 5.4% of the hospital’s nearly 300-person work force.
The paper reported the hospital cited a 2% Medicare payment cut, as a result of the federal sequester, fewer patients and more charitable care spending as reasons for the staffing reductions.
The hospital said that no services will be eliminated as a result of the cutbacks.
