The Good Samaritan Hospital (GSH) Board of Governors has passed a 2025 fiscal year budget for the medical institution in Vincennes.
The spending plan does include a 4% wage increase for caregivers and no rate increase for patients.
Hospital President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rob McLin says that the wage increase will align with employee performance evaluations and take effect in April 2025.
He added the increase will help GSH to remain competitive in the job market.
The 2025 budget also reflects a focus on increasing revenue through projected outpatient volume growth.
Part of that will come from the addition of orthepedic spine and neurology services and investment in a geriatric psychiatry unit and the addition of bariatric surgery to the list of services for 2025.
