UPMC did not say in what departments the layoffs are happening in; only that cuts are “primarily among those who are not in clinical or member-facing roles.” UPMC also confirmed that it is giving severance pay and benefits to affected employees. A statement from Michelle Hart, Neonatal Nurse Practitioner on behalf of Magee Nurses and Advanced Practitioners United, SEIU Healthcare PA, notes that UPMC is also eliminating 300 open positions.
