What the Raiders need to do to fix their health care woes

Posted on September 16, 2021

Suntech medical equipment and supplies manufacturer Suntech is laying off 1,100 employees as it closes a facility in the United Kingdom that produced thousands of medical devices for the NFL, and the company said Thursday it is hiring people to help.

The Raiders have been on the brink of losing their home opener against the Carolina Panthers and are expected to be without star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and defensive end Mychal Kendricks for the rest of the season.

But the Raiders have avoided the same fate as many NFL teams.

They were forced to close a factory in China last year and cut production of some of its equipment, but were able to survive by building new equipment at the same time.

The company announced Thursday that it is layingoff 1,000 employees, which includes 1,600 workers at its facilities in England and the U.K. to reduce costs and ensure it can get more medical equipment to markets.

It said it will use the money to help the company expand operations and hire more people.

The NFL said the Raiders plan to create a team-specific “health and wellness center” to offer free screenings and testing and to meet with local health departments.

The team also said it would establish a new health and wellness facility in a location near its home stadium, Raiders Stadium.

Raiders spokesman Brian D. Young said the company’s plans to move to an all-out, health-care-focused strategy was part of the team’s strategic planning process and reflected the company looking for ways to better support its franchise.

Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a statement that “we are committed to the health and wellbeing of our players and fans, and we will do everything we can to help them stay healthy and stay healthy, especially with the current economic climate.”

Davis also said he is “very appreciative of the outpouring of support we have received from our players, fans, our business community and the rest, of us, throughout this process.”
