CEOs earn big bucks at nonprofit hospitals. But does that benefit patients?
Briefly

Nearly half of hospitals in the U.S. are nonprofits, which means they don't pay local, state or federal taxes, yet CEOs earn over $1 million on average.
Compensation for CEOs of nonprofit hospitals increased by 30% between 2012 and 2019, raising concerns about whether these salaries motivate decisions that undermine patient care.
The average nonprofit hospital CEO's salary rose from under $1 million to $1.3 million, prompting doubts about the fulfillment of hospitals' community-focused missions.
Over 50% of nonprofit hospitals fail to notify patients about financial assistance, raising concerns about their commitment to providing charity care as part of their missions.
