Victor Harrington, UPHS Regional Director of Marketing and Business Development, issued the following press release Tuesday:
"UP Health System-Marquette recently identified the need to realign our staffing structure to ensure that we are operating as effectively and efficiently as possible.
"Unfortunately this did result in the elimination of a few dozen positions. Decisions like this are not easy, and we do not make them lightly. However, in today's challenging healthcare environment, we must regularly evaluate our operational structure, processes and procedures to ensure that we are operating in a manner that will ensure the long-term stability of our organization.
