Tenet's highest-earning executives in 2023

The five highest-earning executives at Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare saw their overall compensation increase in 2023, according to a proxy statement filed April 12 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In 2023, the for-profit hospital operator reported $2.5 billion in operating income, up 12.2% from the previous year, while net income hit $1.3 billion, compared to $1 billion in 2022. CEO Saum Sutaria, MD, said Tenet performed exceptionally in 2023 because of "strong same-facility revenue growth and disciplined operating management."

The health system has carried that momentum into 2024 and is focused on expanding access to care and investing in technology while strategically reducing its debt and growing its ambulatory care and hospital businesses.
