Tom Beeman, PhD, president and CEO of Lancaster General, received the highest bonus at $345,000. Roughly a quarter of his bonus was based on his leave of absence for a military tour of duty at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence, according to the report.
The next four highest bonuses went to Lancaster General Hospital President Marion McGowan, RN ($192,226), Chief Mission Officer Jan Bergen ($177,752), former CFO F. Joseph Byorick ($140,500) and Chief Legal Officer Robert Macina ($111,562).
Lancaster General Board of Trustees Chairman said the bonuses and incentives were based on a variety of factors, including clinical quality and patient satisfaction — not just financial benchmarks.
“We’ve looked at the issue of, should there be a bonus pool tied to some financial metric,” Mr. Henderson said in the report. “It could be net revenue, it could be bond ratings, it could be the balance sheet. But [the board’s] view, and the compensation committee’s view, is that overweighting the financial side of it is detrimental to what we’re telling the executive team to do.”
