FISHERSVILLE, Virginia — After endorsement from its community-based Board of Directors, Augusta Health announced its 2022 compensation program to team members in its virtual monthly Town Hall meeting.

Coupled with the $6.4 million approved for pay increases in July of 2021, Augusta Health’s total investment in our team members for the one- year period across 2021 into 2022 is $17.0 million. The compensation program demonstrates understanding of the challenges the team experiences on a daily basis, delivers on Augusta Health’s pledge to support team members’ health and well-being, and supports its mission, values and culture.

Mannix, FACHE, President and CEO of Augusta Health. “Working together, all have gone above and beyond for our patients and community. We recognize their strength and appreciate their loyalty.
