Not only did we keep salaries where they were, we provided $8,000 in bonuses for each employee — regardless of their role — to demonstrate our profound appreciation for our frontline heroes.

As we reach four years since the start of the pandemic, I look at our hospital staff and am proud that — unlike many of our fellow hospital systems — we’ve been able to retain the majority of our talented team members. We were able to weather the storm by prioritizing our most valuable asset: our people.
