Via Christi Health cutting jobs throughout Kansas

Screen Shot 2013-05-22 at 5.46.44 AM(AP) — Wichita-based Via Christi Health says tough finances are forcing it to eliminate 350 to 400 jobs at its facilities throughout Kansas. The company owns Via Christi Village Senior living facility in Hays.

The nonprofit health system  says changes will involve layoffs and the elimination of some vacant positions. The cuts amount to about 4 percent of Via Christi’s total employment.

The reductions are expected to take place by the end of June. Via Christi says that senior leaders will take salary reductions of about 4 percent.

President and CEO Jeff Korsmo said the system is not operating at a loss, but revenue is about $18 million below budget 10 months into its current fiscal year.
