Ten CT hospitals paid over $1 million each in total compensation to 19 employees last fiscal year, according to a new DPH report. The lowest paid top employee was at Essent-Sharon (CT’s only for-profit hospital to date) and the highest was at Yale-New Haven topping out at $3.5 million. Sharon Hospital had four millionaires on staff, Yale-New Haven had seven, and the other eight hospitals had only one each. Fifteen millionaires were CEO/Presidents; others included clinicians (7) and other administrators (2). Most CT hospitals (19) did not pay anyone over $1 million last year.
