Dartmouth Health and UVM Health Network Announce Over 600 Job Cuts
Dartmouth Health is eliminating 420 positions and UVM Health Network is laying off 199 staff, effective Oct. 1, 2026. Dartmouth is closing its Tele-ICU and Tele-ED services, the New England Alliance for Health collaborative, and an employee training program while consolidating executive roles. UVM Health is closing two patient care units and cutting positions across its six-hospital network in Vermont and New York. Both networks cite rising costs for drugs, supplies, and salaries combined with declining patient volumes and payment rates. The cuts are expected to save UVM Health $16.8 million annually.
Provider network instability directly affects Medicaid managed care organizations' ability to maintain adequate networks and access, particularly in Vermont where 40% of Dartmouth Hitchcock patients are Vermonters and both systems serve significant Medicaid populations.
