Kaiser Permanente is laying off 147 business and administrative employees across 16 locations in California in November, the healthcare provider announced.
The job reductions will affect facilities in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, and Alameda counties. Notably, 20 positions will be eliminated at an administrative office in Pasadena, and 72 positions at an office in San Diego.
Kaiser Permanente stated that these cuts are part of a continuous evaluation of work organization and resource deployment aimed at maintaining affordable and accessible high-quality care for its members and patients. The company emphasized that the affected positions do not involve direct patient care and will not impact the quality of care or services provided.
The Oakland-based non-profit organization, which employs approximately 180,000 people in California, is providing support to the laid-off employees. This support includes assistance in exploring internal opportunities, severance packages, career counseling, and outplacement services where appropriate.
