Disclosed through an official WARN filing with the WA state workforce agency.
Summary
PeaceHealth announced it plans to eliminate 94 positions across its system, including 26 jobs in Bellingham spanning hospice care, cancer research, mental health therapists, clinical social workers, nursing leadership and various patient support roles. Some Bellingham cuts are scheduled to be effective April 12, according to the article, and seven roles will be cut at the Chestnut Building and seven in Sedro-Woolley (Skagit County). The system-wide reductions come amid financial challenges cited by CEO Sarah Ness and follow prior rounds of layoffs in 2025 and an earlier mass layoff of 241 positions; PeaceHealth said final decisions rest with the organization even when outside consultants are involved. The health system notified the state under Washington’s WARN Act because the scale meets the mass layoff threshold. The company described the restructuring as part of redesigning teams and workflows under its One PeaceHealth Care Delivery and Service Model.
