MedExpress Urgent Care is eliminating nursing positions at its nearly 150 locations.
Tribune-Review news partner WTAE-TV reported that the workers are being let go in an effort to revamp the clinic’s staffing model.
It’s unknown how many workers will be affected or what the new staffing plan is.
Several nurses impacted by the layoffs have told WTAE that they are being offered severance packages.
MedExpress’ parent company Optum did not reveal many details in a statement sent to the Tribune-Review.
“MedExpress continually assesses and evolves our staffing models to better reflect urgent care industry standards,” the statement said. “As always, we will support team members affected with job placement resources and seek to deploy them where possible to any open roles within the company.”
