UPMC is laying off about 1 percent of its workforce in response to post-pandemic challenges.

That’s about 1,000 employees.

Most of the cuts are in non-clinical, non-member-facing roles and offering enhanced severance pay and benefits for employees anyone being laid off.

UPMC says it is also closing open positions and eliminating redundancies.
