MARSHALL — Avera Marshall is undergoing restructuring, but more details on the situation were not yet available on Tuesday, an Avera Marshall spokesperson said.

In a statement, Avera said, “We are restructuring some areas with an even greater focus on our core business — delivering high quality patient care. We thank our communities and patients for trusting Avera with your care.”

Stacy Neubeck, communications and PR partner for Avera Marshall, confirmed Avera Marshall was doing some restructuring. But as of Tuesday, she said she could not provide additional information on how that restructuring would affect employees of Avera Marshall, how many employees would be affected, or whether the restructuring would also affect Avera Tyler or Avera Granite Falls.

The health care industry has been impacted by factors including inflation and rising costs, Avera Marshall’s statement said.

“Nationally health care is experiencing a time of unprecedented change, and we are no different,” the statement said.

“While Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center is caring for more patients than before, high inflation and other additional costs have resulted in rising expenses that we need to address. For example, pre-pandemic we were experiencing an average of 2-3% inflation in purchased services, equipment, supplies and other materials. Today we are seeing as much as 25-40% inflation in pricing for everything from paper products to common medical supplies to software technology.”
