To express our gratitude for your continued dedication to caring for our patients and community during the COVID-19 pandemic, we are providing active frontline team members, including supervisors, with a special Hero Pay bonus of $500 as recognition for all you’ve done, and continue to do. The payments, which will be subject to applicable taxes, will be made on Thursday, March 4, by either direct deposit or payroll check.

Those eligible for Hero Pay include clinical and non-clinical team members who worked from May 31, 2020 to January 31, 2021. Per Diem employees must have worked more than 25 hours during that time period. Executives, physicians, executive directors, directors, and managers are not eligible at this time.

In all locations throughout St. Joseph’s Health, our team has stepped in and stepped up, meeting the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic head-on. Now you continue to do so as you care for COVID and non-COVID patients, maintain social distancing, wear masks, and receive your “shot of hope” vaccination. No matter your role, you have made a difference – for our patients and for one another.
