Chicago-based Norwegian American Hospital trimming 42 jobs

Chicago Tribune, February 19, 2009

Chicago-based Norwegian American Hospital is eliminating 42 jobs, or nearly 6% of its workforce, amid the economic downturn, the hospital said. In addition, a cost-reduction plan will include "re-evaluating and renegotiating nearly every hospital vendor contract and fee-for-service agreement [and] reducing management compensation across the board," the hospital said.
