Food-service workers at two major Lehigh Valley Health Network campuses will be working for a new company starting April 1, the health network said Friday afternoon.
The move affects close to 350 workers, but an LVHN spokesman said those workers’ jobs shouldn’t be in jeopardy provided they apply for positions at the new company and meet the necessary criteria.
The workers are currently employees of Sodexo, the company LVHN has contracted to provide food services at the Cedar Crest and Muhlenberg hospitals.
The health network is switching its food-services contract from Sodexo to Compass One Healthcare, LVHN spokesman Brian Downs said Friday afternoon in an email. The switch aligns with LVHN’s goal to provide a consistent visitor and patient experience across all its properties, he said.
Downs provided a statement further explaining the reasoning and implications.
“Providing exceptional support services is an essential part of giving our patients and their families the health care experience they expect and deserve,” the statement says, adding Compass One Healthcare already has a strong partnership with LVHN.
The company has provided environmental service for the health network’s properties for nearly 25 years.
As for the affected Sodexo employees, the statement says:
“Hourly staff who currently provide food and nutrition services at LVHN will have the opportunity to keep their employment. Management level employees will remain Sodexo employees.”
No LVHN employees are being impacted.
The Cedar Crest campus is located off Cedar Crest Boulevard and Intestate 78 in Salisbury Township. It is LVHN’s flagship campus. The Muhlenberg campus is located off Schoenersville Road and Route 22 in West Bethlehem.
