AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT SAINT FRANCIS HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

Cape Girardeau, Missouri-based Saint Francis Healthcare System, a nonprofit Catholic health system, the company has sold its Poplar Bluff campus and associated clinic operations to Missouri Highlands Health Care, a nonprofit community-focused provider.

Approximately 231 employees are impacted by the sale. Layoffs are scheduled for January 30, 2026.

President & CEO of Saint Francis Healthcare System Justin Davison noted, “While this change marks a new chapter, our commitment to compassionate care in southeast Missouri remains as strong as ever. We are confident this transition will bring long-term benefits to the community and strengthen health care access for years to come.”

Change is constant, and it's coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?

AM I NEXT? NO LOVE AT DEPENDABLE HOME HEALTHCARE

St. Paul, Minnesota-based Dependable Home Healthcare, a provider of at-home personal health care services that allows the elderly and those with disabilities to live outside institutional settings, has announced the closure of its operations.

The closure will impact 406 employees, including 38 administrators and 368 care providers, in six phases, beginning January 3, 2026, and concluding March 13, 2026.

CEO Katie Fleury noted, "Shuttering the company was a very difficult decision made necessary by increasing operational costs, difficulty recruiting and retaining staff in a highly competitive labor market, and recent legislative changes in the regulatory environment such as reductions in allowable service hours and lower rates for overnight care.”
