CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — Two of Carle Health’s subsidiary companies — Health Alliance and FirstCarolinaCare — began laying off employees Tuesday. Earlier this year, Carle announced that both healthcare providers would cease nearly all business services by the end of 2025.

They also said the decision would result in 612 employees being laid off on a rolling basis starting July 8.

“As Health Alliance and FirstCarolinaCare continue to wind down operations, the organization will reduce staff on a rolling basis to maintain full support of member services throughout the remainder of 2025. Carle Health will continue to help team members as they transition into new professional opportunities. We continually evaluate all facilities to consider the best way to support team members and patient care, including the administrative building at The Fields,” one Carle spokesperson told WCIA in a statement.

According to East Central Illinois WorkNet, Carle is helping its former employees with their next steps.

“They’re Health Alliance employees,” Dr. Justin Arnold, director of the East Central Workforce Board, said. “But Carle is facilitating the relationship between us and them. And those employees are always grateful that someone is there to help them find employment, or consider their options, or understand unemployment insurance or think about going back to school. So, generally speaking, people are grateful that there’s someone here to help them through their transition.”

The East Central Illinois WorkNet offers support services, such as career coaching, job board directions, and even tuition support if someone wants to pursue higher education.
