Sanitas Medical Centers plans to cut more than 211 jobs across Florida, and some of those positions are expected to come out of Orlando, according to a recent report. The company has not yet publicly detailed which clinics or job categories will be affected.
As reported by Orlando Business Journal, the planned job reductions total more than 211 positions statewide and list Orlando among the markets slated for cuts. The figures and market list come from reporting by Ryan Lynch on June 11.
Sanitas' footprint in Florida
Sanitas USA, the U.S. arm of Colombia-based Keralty, runs a network of primary care and urgent care clinics across Florida, including locations that serve the Orlando area, according to Keralty. Several Sanitas-operated urgent care sites also appear in partnerships tied to Florida Blue and GuideWell, based on information from GuideWell Emergency Doctors and the company’s U.S. materials.
What this means for workers
When layoffs of this size hit in Florida, local workforce boards and the state’s rapid-response teams typically step in to help displaced workers line up their next move. Services can include help with job searches, training options and counseling on benefits.CareerSource Florida describes its REACT and Rapid Response programs as tools local career centers use to connect laid-off workers with reemployment support.
Legal note: WARN notices
Under the federal WARN Act, employers with 100 or more employees generally must provide 60 calendar days of notice before plant closings or mass layoffs, the U.S. Department of Labor explains. If this Sanitas action triggers a WARN filing, state workforce offices and local partners would receive the notice and begin coordinated outreach and transition assistance for affected staff.
Where this fits in the bigger picture
The Sanitas cuts line up with a broader wave of health care job reductions across the country in 2026, as hospitals, systems, and clinic operators grapple with reimbursement pressures and rising operating costs. Fierce Healthcare has tracked multiple rounds of staffing reductions at health systems and primary care groups this year.
Orlando Business Journal first reported the planned Sanitas job cuts on June 11. Hoodline will update this story if Sanitas or state officials release additional notices, detailed site lists, or statements clarifying which Orlando locations and roles are affected.
