Staffing levels under review at St. Francis hospitals

Advertiser Staff

Staffing levels are among the items under review as the new owner of the former St. Francis hospitals looks at ways to restructure the facilities as profitable operations.

Owner Hawaii Medical Center LLC "is examining every aspect of hospital operations, including technology, facilities and staffing, to determine how best to serve the goals of sustainability and excellence of care," said the company in a statement.

"Any decision to reshape the workforce to meet these goals would be first communicated to affected employees and/or their collective bargaining agents."
