BEND, Ore. — Bend-based St. Charles Health System has announced layoffs and pay cuts in an effort to avoid a $25 million to $35 million shortfall in 2018.
The hospital says it will eliminate 30 jobs, mainly nonclinical support staff whose duties can be absorbed by other employees. St. Charles has also offered voluntary buy-outs to employees.
Central Oregon’s largest employer operates all four of the region’s hospitals.
