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 23, 2020 by a state workforce office on behalf
of workers and former workers of Prime Healthcare Services, Saint
John Leavenworth, LLC (d/b/a Saint John Hospital), Accounts
Payable & Purchasing Department, a subsidiary of Prime
Healthcare Services, Inc., Leavenworth, Kansas (Prime
Healthcare/Accounts Payable & Purchasing-Leavenworth). The
workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the supply of
general medical and surgical services. The subject worker group
(Prime Healthcare/Accounts Payable & Purchasing-Leavenworth) is
engaged in activities related to the supply of accounting and
purchasing services. The subject worker group does not include
on-site leased workers.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the petition and the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in Prime Healthcare/Accounts Payable
& Purchasing-Leavenworth 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 shifted to a foreign country the supply of services like or
directly competitive with the services supplied by the subject
workers which contributed importantly to worker group separations
at Prime Healthcare/Accounts Payable & Purchasing-Leavenworth.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Prime
Healthcare/Accounts Payable & Purchasing-Leavenworth 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 Prime Healthcare Services, Saint John
Leavenworth, LLC (d/b/a Saint John Hospital), Accounts
Payable & Purchasing Department, a subsidiary of Prime
Healthcare Services, Inc., Leavenworth, Kansas, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or after
January 22, 2019, 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 7th day of December 2020.
