PeaceHealth filed notice for 150 Washington layoffs as it outsourced information-technology work
PeaceHealth filed a state notice covering 150 permanent layoffs scheduled for November 20, including 17 positions in Bellingham and four in Sedro-Woolley. Local reporting said the affected jobs were largely engineers, analysts and developers and followed a five-year outsourcing agreement with The HCI Group, a U.S. subsidiary of Tech Mahindra. The filing followed earlier PeaceHealth workforce reductions.

Donor relevance
Why this matters
The cuts affect skilled infrastructure roles across a large nonprofit health system and may signal continued pressure to reduce costs through outsourcing. Donors and communities may want to monitor service continuity, cybersecurity and further workforce reductions.
