WellSpan Health to increase minimum wage to $17 per hour
Cris Collingwood//April 26, 2023
York-based WellSpan Health is increasing wages.
WellSpan Health said it is raising its minimum wage from $15 to $17 per hour, effective July 2.
“Providing high quality, compassionate care for our friends and neighbors starts and ends with the dedication of our 20,000 WellSpan team members. That’s why it is so important to us to invest in our team members so they can do their best every day,” said Roxanna Gapstur, president and CEO of WellSpan Health. “WellSpan is committed to being the healthcare employer of choice in South Central Pennsylvania and this is another important step on the journey.”
WellSpan has invested more than $245 million toward merit increases, Working as One rewards, 403(b) contributions and other support over the last two years, the health network said.
The minimum wage increase is the latest update to a multi-year strategy to lead regional healthcare organizations by raising the rate, which will now be nearly $10 above the federally mandated minimum wage, WellSpan said.
WellSpan last raised its minimum wage in 2021. The organization said it is enacting associated increases for many team members who currently make slightly above the new minimum as well. Approximately 7,000 team members will benefit from an adjustment in their pay.
