Executive Compensation at St Joseph Health System (2022)

St. Joseph Health System (SJH) is a California-based non-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) that is part of Washington-based Providence St. Joseph Health (PSJH).  Affiliated with the Catholic church, SJH is an integrated healthcare system serving residents in northern California with 5 hospitals, 1 medical center, and numerous healthcare facilities staffed by thousands of employees.  Note:  SJH which also served West Texas and East New Mexico merged with Providence Health and Services (PH&S) to form PSJH in 2016.

SJH “governs and manages the healthcare system” which means the organizations that make up the network (111 tax-exempt non-profit organizations, 49 organizations taxable as partnerships, and 47 organizations taxable as corporations or trusts) are a source of revenue in exchange for oversight.

In 2022, SJH reported total revenue of $261 million (compared to $482 million in 2021 and $547 million in 2020), most of which came from two sources:  support and services ($364 million) and home health care ($99 million).  The decrease is due to less revenue from organizations within the network.

Expenses totaled $199 million (including $21 million in depreciation) in 2022 with the largest expenses reported to be compensation ($76 million) and fees for services ($45 million).

1,030 employees (significantly less than in 2020 when the organization had 1,592 employees) received $76 million in compensation, which equates to an average compensation of $74,000.  221 employees received more than $100,000 with the most highly compensated listed below:
