ProHealth Care, which operates Waukesha Memorial Hospital and Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital, announced that it would eliminate 50 positions.
The jobs will be lost through layoffs and attrition, although spokespeople for the hospital system would not give a specific breakdown.
ProHealth’s announcement makes it the latest health care provider to cut staff. Last week, Aurora Health Care, the state’s largest hospital system announced it would lay off 90 people and not fill another 220 positions. Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, Glendale, and Columbia St. Mary’s, Milwaukee, have also had layoffs in the last six months.
ProHealth officials cited the economy as the reason and released a statement saying “(ProHealth’s) leadership is making these adjustments in a thoughtful, responsible manner which will position the company for continued strength.”
Spokesperson Sandra Peterson said the jobs being eliminated are spread systemwide and will not affect the quality of patient care.
