Kaiser Permanente plans to lay off another 76 employees in late June, bringing the total to about 350 jobs cut since November.
The most recent layoffs are effective June 21 and will include IT and marketing employees in California, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filed April 22. Kaiser, which cited cost-cutting efforts, said in a statement Tuesday it will provide severance and career support for affected employees and help transition some to other roles.

None of the affected employees are union-represented, Kaiser said.
This marks the fourth round of layoffs at Kaiser in less than a year, with most in IT and administrative positions. Kaiser cut 72 IT employees April 26. The health system also laid off 153 employees Jan. 4 and 49 employees Nov. 10, according to California WARN documents.
Kaiser has about 235,000 employees and is hiring for more than 4,000 open positions, according to the health system's website. It acquired Geisinger Health in April and folded that system into Risant Health, a new nonprofit formed to build a national value-based care network.
Oakland, California-based Kaiser operates 40 hospitals and more than 600 medical offices, in addition to a health plan with about 12.5 million members in eight states. The nonprofit health system reported $4.1 billion in net income for 2023, compared with a $4.5 billion net loss in the prior year.
