Up to 585 employees will be laid off and affected employees will receive a 60-day notice before it happens.

Nix Health is required to announce the plans due to the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

The group's parent company, Prospect Medical Holdings, has struggled financially. In July, the historic Nix Medical Center in downtown San Antonio was listed for sale.
