Trinity Health ministries in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey will raise the minimum wage for their colleagues to $15 per hour, effective Jan. 2019. These specific ministries include Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic (comprising St. Mary Medical Center, Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, Mercy Philadelphia Hospital, Nazareth Hospital and Saint Francis Healthcare in Wilmington), Lourdes Health System and St. Francis Medical Center in Trenton.
“Increasing the minimum wage is the right thing to do for our colleagues and the right thing to do for our community,” said James Woodward, president and CEO, Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic. “This is a clear demonstration of the commitment to colleagues at every level of our organization.”
Since 2016, Trinity Health ministries have increased minimum wages annually, moving on a path toward the new $15 per hour rate. This rise in minimum wage illustrates these health ministries’ commitment to ensure colleague compensation is fair and market competitive. This move will affect nearly 1,500 colleagues across these health ministries.
