Sodexo, the French multinational food services company, is losing 296 food and nutrition worker positions at HCA Houston Healthcare facilities. A WARN notice was filed as HCA Houston moves to bring food services in-house, ending its contract with Sodexo at the affected locations.
Hospital systems bringing outsourced services back in-house is a growing trend as healthcare organizations look for tighter cost control and quality oversight. For Sodexo employees, the transition means their jobs are not disappearing but being replaced by direct hospital hires in many cases. The WARN filing reflects the formal end of the contractor relationship. This pattern of in-sourcing is one to watch across the broader healthcare food services sector.
