Employee raises; equipment investments and no patient rate increase were key parts of the Fiscal Year 2026 budget approved this week by the Good Samaritan Hospital (GSH) Board of Governors.
A 3% wage increase was passed for all eligible caregivers to begin on April 6, 2026, with an additional 2% increase as a performance-based incentive for high-performing employees at the medical facility in Vincennes.
The budget also includes $10.1 million in capital investments that focus on upgrading the hospital's technology to better suit patient care. Among the planned improvements-interventional radiology expansion, information system upgrades along with other building maintenance projects.
Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Matt Schuckman also announced that for the third straight year, GSH will not increase patient rates in order to keep health care costs more manageable for the Knox County and surrounding community.
