  • Multiple employees at East Ohio Regional Hospital have reached out to 7News expressing concerns about the status of their health insurance. A number of employees said they received an email update from EORH Chief Operating Officer Julie Ross pertaining to the issue.

Employees at an Ohio hospital, specifically those at Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center in Toledo, are expressing significant concerns regarding changes to their health insurance coverage. The hospital has recently switched insurance providers, leading to a drastic reduction in the number of in-network healthcare providers, which has resulted in increased out-of-pocket costs for employees. This change has particularly affected those with ongoing medical needs, like cancer treatments, as they now face higher expenses for care that was previously covered at lower rates. The situation has led to dissatisfaction among the staff, with some considering leaving their jobs due to the financial strain. The hospital administration has acknowledged the issue and is reportedly working on expanding the network, but as of now, no immediate solutions have been provided, leaving employees in a precarious position regarding their healthcare affordability.
