Essentia Health has started furloughing clinical staff and added another month of leave for the 500 administrative employees that were cut at the start of the month.
- "Colleagues in both medical and business roles are having their hours flexed to meet patient volumes and reduced business functions," spokesman Louie St. George III said in a statement.
- "Physicians and executive leaders are seeing notable reductions in their compensation as well. To reduce costs, we have streamlined and restructured some leadership roles and eliminated others."
