6 Companies Announce Layoffs, Other Changes In Ohio

DAYTON, OH — Three medical facilities and three businesses in Ohio have announced layoffs so far this month.

The Premier Health group has announced it is shuttering its environmental and nutritional services departments at the Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, the Premier Health Atrium Medical Center in Middletown, and the Upper Valley Medical Center in Troy, according to filings with the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services.
