PITTSBURGH — UPMC announced Tuesday that its 92,000 employees will receive a $500 bonus for their dedication during the coronavirus pandemic, according to our news partners at the Tribune Review.

“Over the past 20 months, you have risen in truly exceptional ways to meet challenges we could have never anticipated,” CEO and President Leslie C. Davis wrote in an email to employees. “With your critical support, UPMC continues to care for so many — affirming our dedication to excellence, as well as our fundamental mission of service.”

The $46 million in bonuses is part of about $300 million the health-care provider said it plans to spend in 2022 to improve compensation and benefits. Additional enhancements to compensation are expected to be announced later this week.
