Counting the High Point Regional job cuts, there has been nearly 1,900 hospital jobs eliminated in the Triad in the past three years.”
“In November 2012, Wake Forest Baptist announced the elimination of 950 positions: 420 were current employees and 530 were closed, unfilled positions, or employees who left through attrition or retirement.
