San Mateo Medical Center to Cut 70 Jobs

The San Mateo Medical Center will cut 71 jobs if a tentative county budget proposal is passed. The hospital would lose $20 million in funding.

The cuts would mostly target vacant positions and would result in only 3 layoffs. Twenty additional employees whose jobs will be eliminated have been moved to new positions.

The San Mateo Medical Center provides nearly all of the county’s indigent care.

San Mateo Medical Center is a 509-bed public hospital and clinic system fully accredited by The Joint Commission. The Medical Center operates outpatient clinics throughout San Mateo County and an acute-care hospital and long-term care facilities in San Mateo and Burlingame, California.
