Wellstar Cuts Jobs While Expanding Care | Durham News

Published 1 day, 18 hours ago
Description

Wellstar Health System is cutting 761 jobs—mostly in corporate and administrative roles—not touching patient care teams—as part of a restructuring to streamline operations and bring decisions closer to the bedside. Meanwhile, they’re expanding aggressively: opening a new 100-bed center in Grovetown, taking over a facility in Clayton, and investing $300 million to expand Paulding Medical Center. This reflects a broader healthcare trend: trimming back-office costs amid rising expenses for staff, supplies, and drugs, while still pouring resources into physical capacity to meet soaring demand.
