Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute Inc. is laying off 306 people as it closes six Northeast Florida locations and cuts employment at three others.
Baptist Health is part of a plan for the Orthopedic Institute to restructure with a group of its physicians forming an independent practice, Baptist said in a statement to Action News Jax and the Jacksonville Daily Record.
A letter sent to state and local officials under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act said the institute is closing rehabilitation facilities starting May 30 (or within 14 days after that) at 12220 Atlantic Blvd. in Jacksonville, 1747 Baptist Clay Drive in Fleming Island, 12961 North Main St. in Jacksonville, 7740 Point Meadows Drive in Jacksonville, 14534 Old St. Augustine Road in St. Augustine and 105 Murabella Parkway in the World Golf Village in St. Augustine.
