  1.  Is this a "lay off"?

    Since positions are available at Central Regional Hospital (CRH), this is not considered a layoff or “reduction in force” (RIF).

  2. If I accept an offer at Central Regional Hospital, can I change my mind later?

    Yes.

  3. What services will be provided to help employees?

    4. The Employment & Referral Services program will include the following:

    • Orientation
    • One on One Intake
    • Job Search Workshops
    • Employment Referral
  4. Who is eligible for the Employment and Referral Services?

    Any employee who may be displaced as a result of the closings of Dorothea Dix and John Umstead Hospitals. The main focus will be on persons who have initially stated that they do not want to go to Central Regional Hospital and/or who have not gotten an offer letter to work at CRH.

  5. Will you find me another job?

    Employees who are interested in employment assistance will be helped with their job search. Tools will be provided such as a resource center, workshops and counseling. Human Resources staff will help by providing job search skills and offering workshops to help in your job search.
