Baystate Health has eliminated 98 corporate positions, or less than 1% of its workforce, as part of a larger cost-cutting initiative, the system said Tuesday.
The Springfield, Massachusetts-based system also eliminated 134 leadership roles in November as part of an overall six-year, $1.2 billion investment plan. In both rounds of job cuts, some of the affected positions were vacant.

Baystate Health did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The system is looking for alternative positions within the organization for affected employees, according to a news release.
CEO Peter Banko, who took helm in May, said in a December interview that labor accounted for 67% of Baystate's expenses. At the time, Banko said the system was looking for ways to reduce labor costs, but had no additional layoffs planned.
