Dartmouth Health announced layoffs of 124 employees and canceled 303 open positions across Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and Southern Region clinics as part of a restructuring to curb costs amid rising labor, supply, and drug costs and slower insurer payments. The system reported back-to-back quarterly operating losses and launched its Acceleration to Transformation Office to cut expenses while continuing capital projects and offering transition support to affected staff, with the aim of maintaining patient care.

Dartmouth Health trims staff amid rising costs

Dartmouth Health announced it will cut 124 jobs and cancel 303 unfilled positions as operating costs have risen about 12%, impacting Tele-ICU and Tele-ED services. The New England Alliance for Health and Lean Six Sigma training programs are also being scaled back to cut costs. Officials say patient care won’t be negatively impacted and employees will be offered internal opportunities to reassign, as the system seeks longer-term sustainability.

Manchester firefighters receive cancer screenings through pilot program.

A pilot program has been launched in Manchester to offer cancer screenings to firefighters, who are at a greater risk of developing cancer due to exposure to carcinogens in burning buildings. Every firefighter will be offered a skin test for cancer, while those over 40 with at least 10 years of service will be eligible for a CAT scan of their lungs. Dartmouth Health is one of the partners in the pilot program and will provide multidisciplinary care if cancer is detected. Manchester's fire chief hopes that every firefighter in the state will have access to early detection cancer screening through their primary care doctors.
