Beth Israel Lahey Health, which operates a network of 14 Massachusetts hospitals, is laying off an unspecified number of employees. A spokesperson confirmed the layoffs were happening, but offered a statement that did not specify the number or location of impacted employees. "Like healthcare providers across the country, BILH is facing significant cost increases, a limited reimbursement environment and changing patient care trends. Despite these challenges, BILH remains committed to our mission of delivering high-quality care in the communities we serve," the spokesperson said. "At the local level, hospital leaders have identified opportunities to restructure staff roles, including eliminating some positions, to best meet local healthcare needs in a sustainable way. We continue to prioritize patient care and make investments that deliver on our commitment to community health."
