The Washington State Department of Health recently released its hospital executive employee financial data for 2020. The report shows that hospitals across the state paid over 20 million dollars in bonus/incentive compensation in 2020. Locally, the two top administrators for the largest healthcare networks in north central Washington were compensated nearly $100,000 in bonuses in 2020, according to the report.

According to KNDU-TV in the Tri-Cities, nurses and other staff members are reportedly ‘put off’ by the large amount of extra executive compensation, saying that hospitals are “putting their priorities in the wrong places.”
