RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The VCU Health System has slashed the number of workers it will lay off in April.
The health system had said in January that 300 workers could be laid off. That number has since been cut to about 30 workers.
MCV Hospitals CEO John Duval says the layoffs are effective April 18. MCV Hospitals is part of the health system.
After the potential layoffs were announced, Duval says employees submitted more than 500 suggestions to cut expenses.
He says the health system doesn't plan any across-the-board salary reductions or furloughs.
