MultiCare layoffs announced in south King County and beyond
MultiCare said the cuts are meant to improve efficiency as losses reached about $652 million from 2022 to 2025, the company said.
- On Wednesday, MultiCare Health System leader Robertson announced 138 position cuts across the network, with separations occurring between Oct. 27, 2026, and Jan. 1, 2027.
- Robertson stated MultiCare lost about $652 million between 2022 and 2025 due to cost inflation and stagnant revenues; Congress's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" will strip $1.5 billion in revenue over the next decade.
- Staff reductions affect diverse locations: 83 cuts last week in Spokane and Yakima, plus Tacoma, Puyallup, and King County sites including Auburn Medical Center and Navos West Seattle Campus.
- MultiCare president Florence Chang will assume the president and CEO role on Jan. 1, 2027, as Robertson retires at year's end, completing the leadership transition.
- The system faces a 6% increase in charity care as uninsured patients rise, while Robertson noted the network aims to reach about 5 million people, requiring expansion beyond Washington.
