Layoffs at Swedish Hospital, none in Ballard

Posted by Geeky Swedes on February 4th, 2009

Updated: Swedish Hospital plans to eliminate 200 jobs in the coming months — nearly 3 percent of its total staff — according to a report which cited an internal memo. Many of the layoffs are focused on management: 4 vice presidents and 22 directors are being let go in the first wave. Another 175 managers and support staff will be let go sometime next week. None of the layoffs involve doctors, nurses or anyone from the Ballard-based facilities. (Full disclosure: A department of Swedish Hospital advertises on MyBallard.com.)
