Providence Swedish to cut 296 jobs and close two clinics in 2026 due to financial strain.
Providence Swedish, Western Washington’s largest healthcare system, announced plans to cut 296 jobs—about 3.8% of its workforce—across hospitals and clinics in 2026 due to financial pressures including Medicaid cuts, insurer denials, rising costs, and new taxes.
The reductions affect clinical, administrative, support, and management roles across multiple locations.
Two facilities—Credena pharmacy at Cherry Hill and the Swedish Weight Loss Outpatient Clinic in Issaquah—will close in late November and early December.
Despite the changes, construction on the North Patient Tower at First Hill will continue.
The system said the moves are necessary for long-term sustainability and pledged to support affected employees with counseling and job placement resources.
