Here are three health systems raising their minimum wage:
Pittsburgh-based UPMC has made plans to raise minimum wage to $18 per hour, more than double the minimum wage in Pennsylvania. The shift will apply to entry-level positions. With the raise, those taking full advantage of UPMC’s benefits will make the equivalent of $27 per hour.
Baltimore-based LifeBridge Health is raising the minimum wage for many of its employees to $16 an hour. The move, which became effective in October, will eventually cover about 2,500 positions across the hospital system.
Winston, Salem, N.C.-based Novant Health will raise its minimum wage from $15 per hour to $17 per hour, effective March 3. The wage increase will apply to more than 4,400 health system employees systemwide.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
