Kaiser Permanente will layoff 147 business and administrative employees across California in November, the health giant said.<\/p>\n
The job cuts include 16 different Kaiser locations in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside and Alameda counties, according to a state employment report.<\/p>\n
The biggest reductions: 20 positions at an administrative office in Pasadena and 72 positions at an office in San Diego.<\/p>\n
\u201cKaiser Permanente continually evaluates how we organize our work and deploy resources to help ensure high-quality care remains affordable and accessible for our members and patients,\u201d the health plan said Tuesday in a statement.<\/p>\n
The positions don\u2019t include employees providing direct patient care, Kaiser said, and \u201cwill not affect the quality of care or service we provide to our members and patients.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are supporting affected employees as they explore other opportunities within Kaiser Permanente and, where appropriate, providing severance, career support and outplacement services,\u201d the health plan\u2019s statement said.<\/p>\n
The Oakland-based non-profit employs about 180,000 people in California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kaiser Permanente will layoff 147 business and administrative employees across California in November, the health giant said.
