BOSTON — The second round of layoffs at Mass General Brigham to save the healthcare system more than $200 million will begin on Monday.

The layoffs, which started last month, are part of a broader restructuring effort to address a significant budget deficit.

“As a not-for-profit integrated healthcare system, Mass General Brigham is facing the same unrelenting pressures affecting many health care systems across the country that are contributing to a projected budget gap of a quarter of a billion dollars ($250m) within the next two years,” Mass General Brigham said in a statement. “We are acting now to allow us to continue with planned and future investments.”

The cuts will impact mostly management and administrative positions, with some jobs being merged and other vacancies being left open.

“We recognize the impact that this difficult decision will have on our impacted employees and Mass General Brigham is providing market competitive severance packages and benefits coverage to them. We are grateful for the contributions of these colleagues and the value that all our employees bring to our organization each and every day.”

The layoffs could potentially impact employees at 12 hospitals under the MGB umbrella:

  • Mass General Hospital, 55 Fruit Street, Boston
  • Mass Eye and Ear 243 Charles Street, Boston
  • Brigham and Women’s Hospital, 75 Francis Street, Boston
  • Spaulding Rehab Hospital, 300 1st Avenue, Charlestown
  • Spaulding Rehab Hospital (Cape Cod), 311 Service Road, Sandwich
  • Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital, 1153 Centre Street, Jamaica Plain
  • McLean Hospital, 115 Mill Street, Belmont
  • Newton-Wellesley Hospital, 2014 Washington Street, Newton
  • Salem Hospital, 81 Highland Avenue, Salem
  • Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, 789 Central Avenue, Dover, New Hampshire
  • Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, 1 Hospital, Oak Bluffs
