Certified nursing assistants will now be paid $20 to $23 an hour, compared to $13.98 an hour, CEO Gerald Cayer said June 18, according to WWNY-TV.
Additionally, licensed practical nurses will receive a $2.50 per hour raise across all pay scales.
The wage increases are to thank employees for their hard work and compete for the best staff members, Mr. Cayer told WWNY-TV. The system hopes to bring between 25 and 35 new employees on board soon.
