A spokesperson for Medtronic confirmed the layoffs to Becker’s but didn’t say the total number of employees affected in this wave of layoffs or where affected employees were based.
“Medtronic continually evaluates its operations and aligns our resources with our highest strategic priorities,” the spokesperson said in a May 15 statement to Becker’s.
The layoffs are part of larger restructuring efforts. This year Medtronic laid off 44 employees with its Carlsbad, Calif. And in January the company shared plans to close five manufacturing plants by the end of April.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
