The Peace Health medical group laid off a ton of nurses today. Via zoom meeting. Like, they gathered together a bunch of doctors and nurses for a zoom meeting and announced “Hey, in a month, you won't have a job anymore.”
They were kept in suspense about the state of their jobs for a bit earlier this year, but they'd thought that everything was settled.
They're left with only one doctor and one social worker per hospital on the outpatient team. I don't know how many people are normally on a hospital's outpatient team, but that doesn't seem like enough.
