"As part of our response, we are consolidating certain management and administrative positions throughout the system. These actions are primarily focused on non-clinical and non-patient facing roles in an effort to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and maximize support for frontline clinicians. This decision is necessary despite years of diligently promoting a culture of responsible resource stewardship and developing initiatives that generate diversified sources of revenue," a spokesperson said in a statement to NBC10 Boston.
