Hospital officials tell the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the layoffs will not include doctors or nurses. Officials say the layoffs are expected to save the hospital about $6 million.
Grady CEO Michael Young told board members on Monday that the downtown Atlanta hospital is seeing one of its largest-ever reductions in government funding. He said this comes at a time when the recession has spurred greater numbers of uninsured patients.
Young said the layoffs likely will happen over the next several weeks.
