Bristol Hospital announced that they plan to eliminate 60 positions, including laying off nearly two dozen filled positions.

A hospital spokesperson says 21 of the positions being eliminated are filled, 21 more are vacant and the remaining 19 layoffs were accomplished through improved staffing management.

The hospital cites little to no increases in reimbursement rates, resulting in an overall loss for Bristol Hospital and Healthcare Group.

According to the hospital system, the layoffs will result in $6.1 million in reduced costs.
