Summary
Pottstown Hospital, owned by Tower Health, announced planned workforce reductions that will eliminate 160 jobs—about 22% of the hospital’s staff—with the cuts set to take effect Sept. 28 according to a WARN notice. The move follows a prior round last fall that eliminated 131 employees and is described by Tower as part of multimillion-dollar investments to expand the emergency room, improve behavioral health services, and update other hospital sections. Tower said 38 positions are expected to be added back once the additions are complete and pledged support for impacted employees. The notice has drawn scrutiny from local officials given recent prior cuts and questions about Tower Health’s investments in the Pottstown community.
