Baltimore’s LifeBridge Health raises minimum wage to $16 an hour for hospital system workers

LifeBridge Health is raising the minimum wage of many workers — including all of its hospital employees — to $16 an hour. More than 270 employees recently saw a bump in their paychecks this month, the nonprofit Baltimore-based health system announced Monday. The increase also will apply to the starting wage for almost 2,500 jobs where current employees already make that much or more.
