Heartland Healthcare Services closing Allentown pharmacy; 71 lose jobs
Paula Wolf//January 11, 2023
Heartland Healthcare Services, which operates long-term care pharmacies, is closing its Allentown location at 7010 Snowdrift Road No. 1, idling 71 employees.
The announcement was made this week in a federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act filing with the state Department of Labor & Industry.
Employees, none of whom are unionized, will lose their jobs “on or about Feb. 28,” the WARN notice said.
Heartland said in the filing that the decision was made because of ProMedica’s closing its nursing facilities, “sudden, dramatic and unexpected business circumstances not reasonably foreseeable.” The company had no further comment.
Established in 1994, Heartland has three other long-term care pharmacies – in Ohio, Maryland and Florida, according to its website.
