Geisinger Health System this spring temporarily froze about 400 open positions, bracing for an estimated $50 million reduction in profitability in fiscal year 2015.
The decision reflects cuts in federal reimbursement payments and the health system’s effort to extensively evaluate each opening, officials said.
About 225 positions remain unfilled, with about 30 percent of those jobs located in Northeastern Pennsylvania, said chief human resource officer Amy Brayford in an emailed statement.

Geisinger Health System employs about 21,000 people.
