As patient volume decreases, Columbia St. Mary's cuts 150 jobs
Columbia St. Mary's Health System is eliminating 150 jobs as part of its response to lower patient volumes at its hospital in Mequon after Aurora Health Care opened a hospital in nearby Grafton. The health system, which employs about 5,000 people full-time and part-time, eliminated about 30 positions for managers, directors and supervisors earlier this month. A few of those positions were vacant. (JOURNAL SENTINEL, 6/29)
