Executive Compensation at Hackensack Meridian Health

Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH) is New Jersey’s largest non-profit healthcare network with 17 hospitals, 500 patient care locations, and 34,000 employees. Based in Neptune, New Jersey, HMH is made up of numerous affiliated and related non-profits but this post will address the non-profit referred to as Hackensack Meridian Health – Subordinates (HMHS) since this entity compensates most of the senior management team whether compensated from HMHS or an affiliated organization.

In 2016, HMHS reported $2.5 billion in total revenue, $2.250 billion in expenses (of which $85 million was depreciation), leaving $250 million in revenue less expenses, which contributed to the net fund assets increasing by more than $400 million by year-end (the other contributions being unrealized gains on investments and changes in assests) from $1.340 billion to $1.755 billion (they basically increased their net fund assets by 30% in one year, which is significant).

In 2016, HMHS reported having 19,188 employees who were compensated $1.150 billion (about half of revenue which is consistent with many other non-profit healthcare providers), which equates to an average compensation of $60,000.  1,938 employees received more than $100,000 in compensation with the 43 most highly compensated employees listed below (note:  the employees whose names are highlighted received their compensation from an affiliated organization):
