“Every caregiver’s role is important. Increasing our minimum wage demonstrates our commitment to our employees and their families, as well as the community and our patients. It is a reflection of who we want to be as an organization,” he wrote.

“Cleveland Clinic caregivers are a critical part of our region’s social fabric. When they are healthy and financially well, they are able to give back and uplift their neighborhoods … We are from Cleveland. We believe in Cleveland. We care for Cleveland. And we invest in Cleveland, which includes investing in our caregivers.”
