Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on January 29, 2018 by three workers on behalf of workers
of Ministry Health Care Inc., a subsidiary of Ascension
Health, including workers whose wages were reported under
Ascension Health Ministry Service Center, Appleton, Wisconsin
("Ministry Health Care Inc."). The workers' firm is engaged in
activities related to the supply of healthcare services. The
worker group is engaged in the activities related to the
supply of revenue cycle function services. The subject worker
group includes on-site leased workers from American Business
Resource Corp., Amphion Medical Solutions, Baker Tilly Virchow
Krause LLP, Elite Human Capital Group, Goodwill Talent Bridge
LLC, Medical Staffing Solutions Inc., and Med Partners HIM LLC.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioner.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has acquired from a foreign country services like or
directly competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at
Ministry Health Care Inc.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Ministry Health Care
Inc., a subsidiary of Ascension Health, including workers
whose wages were reported under Ascension Health Ministry
Service Center, including on-site leased workers from American
Business Resource Corp., Amphion Medical Solutions, Baker Tilly
Virchow Krause LLP, Elite Human Capital Group, Goodwill Talent
Bridge LLC, Medical Staffing Solutions Inc., and Med Partners
HIM LLC, Appleton, Wisconsin, who are engaged in activities
related to the supply of revenue cycle function services meet
the worker group certification criteria under Section 222(a) of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of
the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:




"All workers of Ministry Health Care Inc., a subsidiary of
Ascension Health, including workers whose wages were
reported under Ascension Health Ministry Service Center,
including on-site leased workers from American Business
Resource Corp., Amphion Medical Solutions, Baker Tilly
Virchow Krause LLP, Elite Human Capital Group, Goodwill
Talent Bridge LLC, Medical Staffing Solutions Inc., and Med
Partners HIM LLC, Appleton, Wisconsin, who became totally
or partially separated from employment on or after January
9, 2017, through two years from the date of certification,
and all workers in the group threatened with total or
partial separation from employment on the date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C. this 15th day of March 2018.
