Greensboro, N.C.-based Cone Health has raised its minimum wage to $18 an hour, a move that affects more than 4,200 employees across the health system.
The increase, which took effect earlier in May, also includes wage adjustments for employees earning less than $23 an hour and for workers in flat-rate positions paid below the new minimum, according to a May 21 system news release.
Cone Health previously increased its minimum wage to $17 an hour in December 2023. The health system said the latest raise is part of its ongoing efforts to attract and retain employees.
