Laid-off hospital workers may re-apply

Environmental services workers at Prisma Health hospitals, including Oconee Memorial, face permanent layoffs as Prisma transitions to a new company providing hospital cleaning work, according to a state list of dislocated workers.  Potentially affected by permanent layoffs are 41 Oconee Memorial workers. However, a Prisma Health news release says no jobs are being eliminated during the transition and laid-off employees may transition to Compass One Healthcare “as long as they meet pre-employment screening requirements.”
