Surprise layoffs at Mad River Community Hospital leave care providers confused, concerned for patients

Mad River Community Hospital last week fired close to a dozen employees, including medical assistants, office staff and two nurse practitioners, according to several sources reached by the Outpost. At least one of the employees who got fired on February 1 was given a letter from the human resources department explaining that the hospital is going through a “major restructuring” of its outpatient clinics, a process that involves “eliminating certain redundancies and shifting various responsibilities.”
