The second of two rounds of layoffs at Mass General Brigham began March 10, with about 1,500 employees reportedly affected by the overall workforce reductions, according to The Boston Globe. The layoffs, the largest in the Somerville, Mass.-based health system's history, were announced in early February. The workforce cuts stem from "the same unrelenting pressures affecting many healthcare systems across the country," as the system faces a projected budget gap of $250 million within two years, a spokesperson told Becker's. Mass General Brigham, the largest health system in the state, said the layoffs primarily affect nonclinical and nonpatient-facing roles to "enhance efficiency, reduce costs and maximize support for front-line clinicians."
