(Portland, OR) -- Oregon Health and Science University has announced 142 layoffs with more to come. A statement from the hospital says the layoffs are part of an ongoing strategic alignment caused by higher costs for supplies and labor. Last week, OHSU announced its merger with Legacy Health is moving forward. Those costs will be covered by 30 year bonds and that money can't be used to prevent the layoffs. OHSU did not say how many employees will be laid off by the time the strategic alignment is complete.
