Indiana University Health will move to eliminate 100 mostly non-clinical leadership positions as the company shrinks its regional structure from six regions down to four.
Some IU Health employees will transition to other roles within the company while others will no longer have a position, IU Health Public Relations Manager Lisa Tellus confirmed.
Tellus said the change was not a cost-cutting exercise or a move to layoff employees. In a news release, IU Health said the new structure will allow operational efficiency and consistency across the system.
The change comes as the company has made recent expansions into Fort Wayne, Fishers and downtown Indianapolis.
“As the state’s largest and only academic health system, IU Health is focused on making Indiana one of the healthiest states in the nation. Investing in our communities is at the center of our approach to improve health,” said IU Health President and CEO Dennis Murphy. “We are adjusting our regional structure to strengthen our clinical care models and effectiveness, to improve talent pipelines and career pathways for team members, and to continue making investments in technology—all with the aim of advancing patient care.”
