Trinity Health ministries in Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey — which includes Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center, Camden — will raise minimum wage to $15 per hour, effective this month.
“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.
“What pleases me the most about our decision is that this increase will benefit the colleagues upon whom we most depend,” said Reginald Blaber, MD, representative of Lourdes Health System, Southern New Jersey. “I am talking about the folks responsible for creating first impressions for our facilities — the colleagues who greet our patients and families, who keep our facilities clean and safe, and who deliver hot meals and transport our patients. Their service is not only valuable, but critical to achieving our goals as an organization.”
“Every Saint Francis employee has an important job. Together, we ensure that each patient we serve receives the outstanding care that we are known for. The increase is the right thing to do in showing our employees how much they are valued, and it aligns with our mission of caring for the greater community,” said Daniel P. Moen, president of Saint Francis Medical Center in Trenton.
