CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - A health care services and information technology company has laid off 60 workers at its Charlotte office.

The Charlotte Observer reported (https://bit.ly/2fTDWrl) that San Francisco-based McKesson confirmed the layoffs as part of an expense reduction move involving its information business.

Spokeswoman Kristin Hunter told the newspaper the layoffs affected employees in sales, customer service and information technology.

Hunter said about half of the workers will stay on the job until March.

She said affected employees will receive severance benefits and outplacement services.

McKesson had said in June it was exploring “strategic alternatives” for its Enterprise Information Solutions business that provides technology services such as electronic medical records for hospitals.
