Hanover Hospital different from other PA hospitals that recently laid off employees
Hanover Hospital, which was $1.6 million over its budget last year, is helping its laid off employees find new jobs and even get training.
There’s no way to sugar coat a layoff, telling someone they are out a job, but last month when Hanover Hospital laid off about 50 employees, they decided something needed to be done to ease the blow. They offered their ex-employees help in the transition. They call a Career Transition Day.
Director of Marketing Lisa Duffy said, “What is it that we can do to help really people? Because they have become our family.” About 50 members of that “family” were laid off and others had their hours cut because the hospital was over-staffed.

But they didn’t just show them the door. “I got a call the next morning from my old director telling me that there was a possibility for a job,” said Kassi Phillips, a former hospital employee.
