Questions

How many healthcare WARN notices were posted in 2026?

283 notices from hospitals, health systems, clinics, nursing and home-care providers and similar employers in the 25 states we cover, up to Oct 28, 2026. That is about 11% of all 2026 notices here. Together they name 16,638 workers.

What was the largest healthcare layoff notice of 2026?

Franciscan Health Olympia Fields in Illinois, naming 1,535 workers.

How do you decide which notices are healthcare?

By the employer name (words like hospital, health, medical, clinic, nursing, hospice, home care) and, where the state publishes it, the industry or NAICS code. It is a keyword match, so a few health-adjacent employers such as billing or staffing firms are included and a few providers with unusual names are missed. Each row links to its source so you can check.

Do hospitals have to file WARN notices?

Private hospitals and health systems with 100 or more employees are covered by the federal WARN Act like any other employer, and several states have their own stricter laws. Public hospitals run by a state or local government are generally not covered by the federal law. This is not legal advice.
