York, Pa., July 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WellSpan Health has implemented its new organizational minimum wage of $17 per hour and will now begin paying a weekend differential of 10 percent to team members in hourly roles who choose to work weekends in support of patient care and operational needs.
