Boston Medical to cut staff, services
Boston Globe, December 18, 2008
Boston Medical Center will layoff 250 employees as $114 million in state budget cuts are expected. Patient services will be cut, too, in areas including primary care, pediatrics, and geriatrics. These cuts will likely have the biggest impact on low-income residents and others who receive free or subsidized care.
