UVM Cuts 142 Jobs Amid Financial Crisis

UVM Health just slashed 142 roles across its hospitals and hospice care in Vermont and New York, mostly administrative—but a third at the main hospital includes unionized lab techs, patient support staff, and even some nurses. The move aims to save $9 million annually amid a $100 million spending cut needed each year for three years, with the Burlington hospital reportedly losing $460K daily. Leadership says it’s essential for long-term sustainability and affordability, focusing on eliminating duplication and cutting overhead—but critics argue cutting frontline care roles isn’t the right fix for a broken system.
