A total of 2,300 of Intermountain Healthcare non-clinical employees will be transitioned to a different employer starting in April, according to an article on the HJNews website.
The 2,300 who are affected will keep their jobs and retain their rate of pay but be employed by R1.
R1 is a Chicago-based company with partnerships with nearly 300 hospitals nationwide to manage employees.
“Everyone recognizes the cost of healthcare in the U.S. is too high,” Robert Allen, Intermountain chief operating officer, said. “We owe it to the patients and communities we serve to explore and implement options such as this to help address this issue of affordability.”
