KentuckyOne might have cut too deep when it laid off workers last year

KentuckyOne Health Inc., which cut about 500 workers last year in the wake of financial problems, appears to have gone too deep with some of its staff cuts. KentuckyOne is the operator of Jewish Hospital and University of Louisville Hospital, as well as several others in Kentucky. Earlier this week, I checked in with KentuckyOne senior manager of media relation Barbara Mackovic about tips we've received about formerly laid-off employees returning to the organization. She confirmed that the company is hiring again. But she wouldn't tell me how many positions are being added.
