Tulare Regional Medical Center, faced with significant revenue losses and construction delays, will lay off 16 workers, the medical center said Friday.
Fewer patients and rising construction costs of the medical center's 57-bed, four-story hospital tower and 24-bed emergency room -- stalled for months -- contributed to a $4 million loss from May to December 2012.
The medical center will eliminate 28 full-time jobs and 41/2 part-time jobs, mostly through attrition. No further reductions are expected.
The expansion of primary care clinics in west Tulare and Earlimart could provide new job opportunities, CEO Shawn Boulouki said: "Ideally, we will be in a position to rehire once our two new health care centers are open and the inpatient volume increases."
