Service down and limited, Compass Health to close 3 sites
SNOHOMISH Losing revenue and limited in their services because of public health precautions, Compass Health laid off several employees and will shutter locations in three cities.
The behavioral and mental health care provider operates more than a dozen locations in Snohomish County. Since COVID-19 struck the area, outpatient service dropped about 20%, and revenues followed suit, Compass Health CEO Tom Sebastian said. Layoffs are set to begin in mid-June.
Like everyone, we were affected by the important implementation of social distancing, he said. That had a particular impact on our outpatient service.
The nonprofit mental health care organization will close outpatient sites in Marysville, Monroe and Snohomish. Most of those locations clinical employees are transferring to Compass Healths Everett branches, but four were set to go on furlough, Service Employees International Union Healthcare 1199NW spokeswoman Amy Clark said in an email.
About 700 people work for Compass Health.
