Adventist Health, the Roseville-based nonprofit hospital system, is cutting 125 jobs across its California network in what leaders are calling a systemwide restructuring. The reductions are scheduled to kick in on Friday, July 3, 2026, according to a notice filed with state officials, and the organization says some employees have already been offered new roles in a more centralized structure.
Notice Filed Under Cal-WARN
Under California's worker protection rules, large-scale layoffs come with an early warning requirement. Adventist Health detailed its plans in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN, letter submitted to the California Employment Development Department. As WARNact explains, those filings are public records that help trigger rapid-response services and give local agencies a heads-up for planning.
The Cuts and the Company's Explanation
The WARN notice reviewed by The Sacramento Bee lists 125 affected positions spread across Kern, Kings, Lake, Los Angeles, Mendocino, Napa, Placer, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Solano, Tuolumne, Ventura and Yuba counties. Kern County takes the biggest single hit with 15 jobs on the chopping block.
In the notice, network director of human resources Todd Reese characterizes the move as a restructuring initiative and says Adventist Health is pursuing centralization and standardization in its quality, risk, infection prevention and accreditation operations. Reese wrote that as part of this process, certain job functions and positions across multiple facilities within our health system are being eliminated and added that more than 80 employees had been offered or placed into new roles as of June 25.
Where This Fits Amid Hospital Cost Cutting
The timing of Adventist Health's shakeup is no coincidence. Hospital systems across California and throughout the country have been trimming administrative and other nonclinical positions as they wrestle with tight financial margins and shifting reimbursement formulas. Trade coverage and layoff trackers have been logging similar cuts at health systems nationwide, and Becker's Hospital Review has documented dozens of hospital workforce reductions this year.
What Affected Workers Can Expect Next
The WARN filing makes impacted Adventist Health staff eligible for state rapid-response services and gives them time to explore internal transfers, retraining options and unemployment benefits. According to WARNact, workers covered by such notices are encouraged to reach out to their local America's Job Center and the Employment Development Department during the 60-day notice window to connect with available resources.
Adventist Health did not respond to an interview request, The Sacramento Bee reports, although the system says it is offering opportunities for affected workers to move into newly created centralized positions where possible.
