MARSHFIELD – A sprawling health care system in Wisconsin is getting a bit smaller after cutting almost 100 positions.
The Marshfield Clinic region of Sanford Health announced the cuts earlier this week, saying they are part of the “integration process” after the two health systems merged. That process began in Oct. 2024 and was completed in January.
About 96 leadership and administrative roles will be cut, Sanford said in a statement. Layoffs for people at the director-level are taking effect immediately, while the other employees have been given a 60-day notice. Their last day will be June 10. No direct patient care roles are affected.
While those roles are being cut, about 20 new positions will be added to the organization’s health plan.
“We remain committed to investing $500 million in the Marshfield region over the next five years, in addition to supporting the conversion of the electronic medical system to Epic,” officials said.
The changes are part of the effort to create a “unified” organization, they added, focusing on creating a model that merges the strengths of Security Health Plan and Sanford Health Plan.
Employees are receiving severance pay, career transition services and other assistance, the company said.
