Source: NY hospital executives pocketed $73M in bonuses as COVID raged

Summary
While hospital workers were struggling to get properly equipped and staffed during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, top hospital executives and doctors in New York received millions of dollars in salaries, bonuses, and other benefits from federal pandemic relief funds.

Fact

💰 Hospital executives and doctors received $73 million in bonuses and other perks in 2020 alone, with an average bonus of $273,000.

🏥 Some hospitals continued to use seven-figure payouts to drive executives to hit profit and performance goals, even as frontline health workers struggled to get personal protective gear and staffing improvements.

🤑 Much of the bonus money flowed to leaders of New York’s most politically powerful hospital networks, which also received the biggest shares of the $6 billion provided to New York health providers through the CARES Act in 2020.

🚫 Reports of executive bonuses have led to calls for bans on executive bonuses, acquisitions, and other spending unrelated to patient care in any future COVID-19 relief funding.
