ST. LOUIS – Spectrum Healthcare Resources, a healthcare provider that serves veterans and government employees, is expected to lay off hundreds of employees later this year following a contract loss.

According to a WARN notice from the State of Missouri’s job website, Spectrum Healthcare Resources is planning to lay off 280 workers by May 29, 2025. This specific WARN notice cites a “loss of contract.”

Spectrum Healthcare Resources specializes in “quality care to active duty military, veterans, government employees, and their families,” according to its website. The company has placed more than 30,000 healthcare professionals over 35 years.

Spectrum Healthcare Resources is located at 12647 Olive Boulevard in St. Louis County.

PitchBook Data, a capital marketing company, lists Spectrum Healthcare Resources as a private company that operates primarily in the government sector.

It’s worth noting that these layoffs come amid a broader push for federal government cuts through the Department of Government Efficiency, including contracts, grants and leases. However, it’s not immediately clear whether Spectrum’s planned layoffs of contract loss are directly tied to these federal reductions.

The department, more commonly known as DOGE, is an initiative of President Donald Trump’s second term that is led by billionaire Elon Musk. It aims to reduce government spending and consolidate the federal workforce.

FOX 2 has reached out to Spectrum Healthcare Resources for comment on the WARN notice, but our requests for comment have been unanswered as of this story’s publication.
