ABQ Health Partners cut staff by 5 percent Thursday, could amount to 63 layoffs

10/3/2014


ABQ Health Partners has confirmed the company laid off about 5% of their staff on Thursday.
A spokesperson for DaVita, the company that runs ABQ Health Partners, wouldn't give specific numbers on how many people lost their jobs.  But right on their website, it lists that they employ 163 physicians, 86 mid-level care providers, and 1,011 staff members in Albuquerque and Rio Rancho.
That amounts to 1,260 employees.  5% of that would be 63 staffers cut.
KOB Eyewitness News 4's Danielle Todesco spoke with an employee who still has a job, and she wanted to remain anonymous to keep her job.
"I think everybody will have their heads down, keeping their nose clean.  Everybody that I talk to...I mean, the morale is terrible," the employee said.
The spokeswoman said they serve about 170,000 patients and that they will continue to have access to all the current specialties offered.
