Several major layoffs have rocked healthcare since the beginning of 2025, with many physicians finding themselves without work.
While layoffs are a negative event, nearby health systems may benefit as they are able to pick up out-of-work providers.
“At the core of any successful large practice is its physicians; they are the driving force behind growth, patient care and long-term sustainability,” Donnie Romine, CEO of Jacksonville, Fla.-based Southeast Orthopedic Specialists, which recently acquired a number of local laid off physicians, told Becker’s. “Those physicians enable a practice like SOS to support the numerous care options we have developed such as ASCs, advanced imaging centers, rehabilitation centers, interventional pain management centers and non-surgical care centers.”
Here are seven practices that recently picked up laid off physicians:
1. Southeast Orthopedic Specialists is in the process of adding laid off physicians from Jacksonville (Fla.) Orthopaedic Institute. JOI laid off over 300 workers, including practitioners, in early April.
2. Penn Medicine has hired more than 40 physicians-in-training who were displaced by the closing of Upland, Pa.-based Crozer Health. The system added 26 family medicine residents from Crozer, all 12 of Crozer’s family medicine physicians at the Springfield (Pa.) Center for Family Health, three sports medicine fellows, 10 internal medicine residents and four OB-GYN residents.
3. Radnor Township, Pa.-based Main Line Health added Crozer’s entire psychiatry residency, which has 13 current residents with four more starting in July, 10 internal medicine residents, one OB-GYN resident and is in the process of hiring seven more of Crozer’s OB-GYN residents.
4. Philadelphia-based Jefferson Health added a total of 20 residents from Crozer, including 10 in emergency medicine.
5. Philadelphia-based Temple Health added five Crozer residents.
6. Wilmington, Del.-based ChristianaCare added two Crozer residents.
7. Newtown Square, Pa.-based Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic added one Crozer resident.
