One of the key points of emphasis of President Donald Trump’s first week back in office has been halting federal diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

On Thursday, Pennsylvania State Senator Art Haywood joined with a few of the city’s religious leaders at a Black church in Society Hill Thursday to condemn those rollbacks.

Main Line Health has laid off nearly 200 people in what it calls an updating of its management structure.

In a statement, the health care system says "significant external pressures, including Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates" not keeping pace with costs contributed to the downsizing.

The employees who were let go made up 1-point-5-percent of Main Line Health's workforce.

The company says it is "providing transition support" for those being laid off.

Main Line Health employs about 13,000 people, and says moving forward it will focus on hiring more clinicians and increasing ambulatory services.

The Main Line Health system includes four area hospitals: Lankenau, Paoli, Bryn Mawr, and Riddle.

SEPTA has hired a new company to run its problem-plagued fare card.
