Nuvance says they do not plan on laying off any staff as part of the 2019 merger. President Robert Friedberg said that the organization is looking to other avenues to reduce costs, such as consolidating purchasing.[4] The newly-formed company is projecting to save a total of $100 million across fiscal years 2019-2021.[5] In agreeing to allow the merger to continue, the Connecticut Office of Health Services set several conditions that must be followed, including capping increases in costs, and increasing funding for a community benefit program.[6] Nuvance must also add 14 community representatives to the board of directors, to ensure a continued focus on community needs.
