The Detroit Medical center is today beginning an intense review and evaluation of it’s executive offices.
A memorandum was sent out recently to DMC’s 11-thousand workers that the private health system was beginning a restructuring plan to retool its operations.
It stated that a new organizational structure would better serve its patients and boost investments and that work-force reductions could be expected over the next few months.
DMC is owned by the for-profit Tenet Healthcare of Dallas, an 80-hospital chain that purchased DMC’s 8-hospital operation in 2013.
DMC has eliminated about 100 jobs a year for the past three years in year-end cost-cutting.
Up to 300 jobs could be lost in this new restructuring plan.
