Dartmouth Health Lays Off 124 Employees, Eliminates 303 Positions Amid Financial Strain
NewsData.io · United States · Sep 16, 2026
Dartmouth Health has laid off 124 employees and eliminated 303 open positions across Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics Southern Region, citing a $63.5 million deficit and operating expenses that have grown 12% while patient revenues lag. The cuts include restructured executive roles, elimination of Tele-ICU and Tele-ED programs, and a reduction in traveler staff reliance. The action mirrors simultaneous workforce reductions at University of Vermont Health Network, signaling broader financial stress across rural New England healthcare systems driven by Medicaid cuts and declining insurer reimbursements. Staffing agencies serving healthcare clients in the region should note reduced demand for traveler and contract placements as health systems prioritize cost containment.
