## Resource

Dartmouth Health is slashing 124 jobs and freezing 303 new hires as part of a major restructuring to stabilize finances after reporting a $63.5 million loss—driven by soaring labor, supply, and drug costs, plus lagging insurance reimbursements. Programs like Tele-ICU and Tele-ED are being shut down, impacting rural hospitals that rely on them, while leadership roles are also being reorganized. CEO Joanne Conroy admits the cuts are painful, especially for long-term employees, but insists they don’t diminish the value of past contributions. The system is also cutting travel nurses, reducing conferences, and boosting patient capacity to save money. This comes amid similar cuts at the University of Vermont Health Network, highlighting a tough time across healthcare systems.
