Trinity Health Corp. plans to permanently lay off 557 employees from its Livonia, Michigan, technology site as part of a companywide restructuring that moves some in-house technology services to an outside partner, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice filed with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity.
Scope and timing of the layoffs
The notice lists the affected site on Victor Parkway in Livonia, with separations slated to take place between Oct. 25 and Nov. 19. The jobs identified include service desk support, systems administrators, data engineers and other information-technology roles. Trinity Health said the changes do not affect clinical or patient-facing positions.
"This change affects TIS roles that involve internal technology support services, including the service desk and applications support. It does not affect clinical, patient-facing roles,"
The WARN Act requires employers to give advance notice to the state when mass layoffs or site closures meet certain size thresholds. Trinity Health, based in Livonia, is one of the country’s largest faith-based health care systems, operating hospitals, surgery centers and senior-care facilities.
Corporate context and past announcements
Trinity Health reported about 133,000 employees in its June 2025 year-end report. In a quarterly filing covering the period ending March 31, 2026, the corporation said it would "redesign and reposition" some services to respond to "ongoing industry pressure and evolving legislative impacts." The company also announced in June that it planned to move some in-house technology and information services roles to an outside partner, a shift the WARN filing appears to implement.
The company has described the affected roles as part of its internal technology support and applications services. The WARN notice and previous statements make clear Trinity Health intends the move to an external vendor to be a structural change rather than a temporary reduction.
Local impact and national implications
The Livonia workforce reduction will be felt in Wayne County, where the affected employees are based, and underscores broader pressures facing health systems: evolving legislation, cost constraints and the strategic outsourcing of nonclinical services. Trinity Health’s move is consistent with industry trends in which large health systems reassess in-house services to control costs and centralize or outsource functions such as IT support.

- Timing: Oct. 25–Nov. 19 (effective separation dates)

Trinity Health’s June announcement described the move of some technology and information services roles to an outside partner. The WARN filing provides a concrete timeline and head-count for that transition, though it does not identify the external partner or outline severance and transition arrangements in detail.
As health systems confront regulatory changes and financial pressures, decisions to outsource or consolidate support functions have implications for workforce composition and local economies. Trinity Health’s public filings frame this action as part of a broader effort to reposition services amid shifting industry dynamics, while assuring that direct patient care roles remain intact.
Officials at Trinity Health did not provide further comment in the WARN notice beyond the description of which roles are affected. The company’s earlier statements and the WARN filing together signal a focused change in how internal technology support will be delivered going forward.
