Wellstar Health System has laid off 761 employees, which is 2% of their total workforce of 35,000. The affected employees are not frontline, patient-facing staff such as doctors or nurses. Remaining employees are concerned about the impact of the layoffs.

Morale is reportedly down among staff who know those who lost their jobs. Further details on the layoffs and their effects are available from Atlanta News First, including reactions from employees and statements from Wellstar officials on the reasoning behind the decision.
