Edward-Elmhurst (IL) hospital system plans $50 million in cuts, including layoffs

Edward-Elmhurst CEO Mary Lou Mastro said during a call with reporters Tuesday that the system has not yet determined how many layoffs will be necessary or which positions might be affected. She said the system has already started holding vacant positions open and now has 300 positions that aren't being filled. The $50 million cut equals about 4 percent of the system's total expenses.
