Labcorp has announced “preliminary plans to downsize” following a series of acquisitions of Portland hospital laboratories.
Last year, the North Carolina corporation announced it was purchasing the labs of Providence and Legacy Health, two of Portland’s largest hospital systems. WW reported earlier this year that the transition was anything but seamless. Doctors reported delays in receiving patient test results, raising questions about why state regulators didn’t even look at the sale.
Now, the other shoe has dropped. Labcorp is reducing redundancies via layoffs.
“We have announced preliminary plans to downsize the Holladay Park laboratory,” reads a statement emailed to doctors last Friday and obtained today by WW.
