Health System To Outsource 700 Workers

Move by Ohio’s Premier Health will affect nutritional services and environmental services workers


Healthcare organizations turn to outsourcing for a variety of reasons. Cost savings often is often at the top of that list, but that particular tool is always in a manager’s arsenal should the need arise.
