Catholic Health says it will eliminate 40 positions and realign 34 amid financial pressure
Catholic Health announced the elimination of 40 union and nonunion positions across an administrative center and several Western New York hospitals. Another 34 emergency-department roles were slated for reassignment. The nonprofit health system attributed the changes to rising labor and supply costs and reimbursement pressures.
