Providence said it launched a restructuring this week that will bring a reduction of 600 full-time-equivalent positions. The major nonprofit, which employs 125,000 people across seven Western states, said it will be shifting those affecting into other open positions “where possible.” There are more than 5,000 open roles across the system, it said. Affected roles are “primarily in non-clinical, administrative functions, though some patient-care roles are also impacted,” Providence said in its Thursday announcement. Transitional resources are being provided to impacted employees, it said. ... Of those cut roles, local reports say 134 are within Providence’s Oregon operations, while more than 100 certified nursing assistants at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, in Washington, also reportedly received notices this week.
