SSM Health has announced that it will implement a new minimum wage of $15.00 per hour throughout its four-state system. The increase will take effect on October 10. This increase will impact nearly 3,000 team members across Missouri, Illinois, Oklahoma and Wisconsin – or about 7% of SSM Health’s total workforce of nearly 40,000 employees. According to a press release this decision is consistent with SSM Health’s previously stated plans to advance equity as part of its overall talent development strategy.
