MultiCare layoffs announced in south King County and beyond
The health system said the cuts are meant to improve future finances as losses reached about $652 million since 2022.
- On Wednesday, Tacoma-based MultiCare Health System announced 138 job cuts set to occur between Oct. 27, 2026, and Jan. 1, 2027, aimed at helping the network be "better prepared to face the future."
- Robertson stated MultiCare lost about $652 million between 2022 and 2025 due to "dramatic cost inflation" and stagnant revenues; the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" will strip $1.5 billion in future revenue.
- Layoffs affect Auburn Medical Center in Auburn, Fountain Plaza in Federal Way, and Allenmore Hospital in Tacoma, with clinical assistant nurse managers and ophthalmology assistants among the hardest-hit positions.
- Robertson will retire on Dec. 31, concluding his tenure; Florence Chang, MultiCare president, will assume the role of president and CEO effective Jan. 1, 2027.
- These cuts follow other recent regional layoffs in the Tacoma area, including planned closures at the Georgia-Pacific Gypsum plant and the Fred Meyer James Center store by January.
