NEW HANOVER COUNTY Though votes to secure a raise in the minimum wage to $15 failed by 58 in the Senate two days ago (as part of the latest $1.9 trillion Covid-19 relief bill), Novant is following through on its promise to employees of its newly acquired New Hanover Regional Medical Center.
A hospital spokesperson announced the hospital increased employee pay to $15 per hour as of Feb. 21.
“Healthy wages are not just a recruitment tool,” said John Gizdic, Novant Health executive vice president and chief business development officer, in a press release.
