Summary
Adventist Health reported 122 staffing changes across its Central Valley operations, with 22 staffing changes specifically in Kern County. The health system says these were not layoffs intended to reduce headcount or achieve financial savings but part of a departmental reorganization affecting areas including quality, risk, infection prevention and sanitation. Adventist Health stated all Central Valley workers were offered new positions in Kern doing the same work and framed the changes as reorganizational rather than workforce reductions. The spokesperson noted timing optics amid nearby layoffs at Dignity Health, but maintained Adventist Health's actions were not driven by financial cuts.
Adventist Health cut 22 jobs in CA affecting its quality, risk, infection prevention and sanitation team as of July 11, 2026.
