@broadlineintel: The Philadelphia Inquirer, Oct. 6, 2026: Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden has lost nearly two dozen emergency department employees after Virtua Health switched staffing providers, according to former employees. https://www.inquirer.com/south-jersey/virtua-lady-of-lourdes-camden-cuts-er-20261006.html The ER’s three leaders, including Al Sacchetti, 72, a physician there for 41 years, said they were not offered contracts with the new provider. They were offered roles at other Virtua hospitals and declined. A Virtua spokesperson said the switch was to create consistency across the system. Former staff said Virtua’s contract with Envision Healthcare ended Sept. 30. Starting Thursday, Oct. 1, TeamHealth took over the ER’s doctors, physician assistants, and other advanced practice professionals. The new vendor did not renew leadership contracts and offered other staff the option to stay with pay cuts, according to several staff members. Medical director Monika Smith said the remaining team of 21 doctors and advanced practice professionals was offered TeamHealth contracts; only one person chose to stay, and a few more will work only as needed. Former clinical operations director Ross Simcoe also lost his job. A send-off for Sacchetti was held outside the hospital on Sept. 29. #newstiktok #healthcare #broadlinedaily #creatorsearchinsights #PhillyHealthcare

The healthcare system as a whole is going to shit. It’s no longer about caring for patients. It’s all about profits.

Our healthcare is being farmed out to the LOWEST BIDDER. Most experienced staff will not stay. This means u will have NEWBIES at ur bedside. That is not to say that all newbies are not good but they may not catch things that the oldies would

We’re tired of being stepped on and not seen for the hard work everyone is putting in to care for patients. It’s not the same anymore

I know it’s a thing but staffing provider? Why a middleman? What happened to companies hiring employees? No fkng wonder healthcare is unaffordable. If I ran this country there’d be so many regs imposed on these conglomerates in healthcare sector the only people left who’d still want to run a hospital’d be doctors and nurses.

You understand completely when you realize that patients are no longer called PATIENTS, they’re called CLIENTS !

Had a relative in Cooper no better. After 2 days finally got a room. Nurses were nice but no doctors. Nurse even said we don’t usually release people on Sundays only few doctors to cover all the floors.

Omg the place is a nightmare - my mom was in icu and it was like a ghost town - the dr consult took place in a stairwell as I had to run to ask questions - the only good thing about Lourdes is their chapel other than that I will never go back to that hospital!!! Not surprised at all- !!!!!!!!!!!!
