## Resource

Dartmouth Health is cutting 124 jobs and eliminating 303 unfilled positions across its medical center and clinics to combat a 12% surge in costs, impacting services like Tele-ICU, Tele-ED, and the New England Alliance for Health program. CEO Dr. Joanne Conroy insists these tough moves are essential to ensure long-term sustainability without compromising patient care. The hospital is also phasing out its internal Lean Six Sigma training program, opting for cheaper external providers, while offering displaced staff opportunities within the system. Patients won’t see any direct impact from these changes. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
