Frisco-based Conifer Health Solutions plans to eliminate more than 1,000 jobs as the Tenet Healthcare Corp. subsidiary prepares to end work with a major hospital system client, CommonSpirit Health.
Conifer, which manages business operations for hospitals and health systems across the country, informed the state of Texas about the layoffs in a Sept. 2 letter. The layoffs will consist of 1,037 primarily remote employees, who are scattered throughout the U.S. but “organizationally” report to Tenet’s Dallas headquarters at 14201 Dallas Pkwy., according to the letter.
The company attributed the layoffs to “restructuring and technology initiatives related to, among other things, no longer providing services” to CommonSpirit Health after Oct. 30, according to the letter. Chicago-based CommonSpirit is a large, nonprofit Catholic healthcare system with more than 2,200 care sites across the U.S. CommonSpirit is a former part owner of Conifer.
Affected employees will not have any bumping rights, meaning they cannot displace more junior employees out of their job positions, and the layoffs are expected to be permanent.
