The board voted this week to raise Mr. Earley’s annual pay from $475,000 to $525,000 after discussing his performance review, according to the report. Mr. Earley was appointed interim CEO of the tax-payer supported hospital district, which does business with JPS Health Network, in May 2008 and officially hired as CEO in Feb. 2009.
According to the report, Mr. Earley still only ranks in the 21st percentile in compensation among CEOs at hospitals of a similar size nationwide. The board would like Mr. Earley’s pay to eventually fall in the 50th percentile.
Mr. Earley took over at Tarrant County Hospital District during an unstable time, following the resignation of former CEO David Cecero after criticism that the hospital district was failing to provide quality care for its indigent populations.
