Mayo Plans Staff Cuts

Nearly 200 jobs in western Wisconsin are being cut, in a cost-saving measure

by Mayo Clinic Health System.  The company says it will contract out 188 medical transcriptionist jobs by November 1st to Amphion Medical Solutions, based in Madison. Mayo said the move will save them 40 percent in expenses and it will try to re-assign affected employees to other openings within the company. It says Amphion will also discuss openings within their business. Mayo released a statement saying it hopes to minimize the impact of the move as much as possible.
