UPMC is cutting about 1,000 jobs, which is approximately 1% of its workforce.A spokesperson said the cuts are systemwide and primarily among non-clinical and administrative staff. Some of the cuts will be through attrition, closing open positions and eliminating redundancies.In a statement, the spokesperson says, "The entire health care industry continues to face the realities of a still-evolving, post-pandemic marketplace."Full statementBelow is the entire statement from UPMC Vice President and chief communications officer Paul Wood:"The entire health care industry continues to face the realities of a still-evolving, post-pandemic marketplace. UPMC is responding to these challenges and opportunities while remaining true to its mission of providing exceptional care for patients, employees, members, and communities. To ensure that UPMC continues to thrive as a leading, successful health care organization, limited reductions are occurring throughout the health system primarily among non-clinical, non-member-facing, administrative staff through attrition, closing of open positions, elimination of redundancies and other actions. This realignment will not alter UPMC's investments in our communities, facilities, commitment to clinical care and research, strategic growth, or to offering those throughout our workforce industry-leading benefits. Because these decisions will be difficult for affected employees, enhanced severance pay and benefits coverage is being provided. These actions impact a little more than 1% of the staff members throughout UPMC's 100,000+ workforce across its businesses systemwide."
