Officials at Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo to layoff


SAN PABLO, Calif. About 300 employees at Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo will be told they'll be losing their jobs today.
Officials say they will issue layoff notices to about 30 percent of the one-thousand workers who work at the East Bay hospital.

The layoffs come after the hospital district that runs the facility filed for Chapter Nine bankruptcy protection Sunday.

The chief executive officer of Doctors Medical Center says nurses, pharmacy technicians, administrators and other employees will be among those let go.

Layoffs will begin on October 19th.

As part of the restructuring, the hospital will close its obstetrics unit and other services, but the emergency room will remain open.
