Jefferson\u2019s Joseph G. Cacchione ranked as the highest-paid CEO at the Philadelphia region\u2019s nonprofit health systems in 2024, with total compensation of $7 million, according to The Inquirer\u2019s annual review of public tax forms. <\/p>\n
Madeline Bell at Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia collected $5.5 million in 2024, giving her the number two spot.<\/p>\n
Both also were top earners in The Inquirer\u2019s 2023 compensation analysis<\/a>. Jefferson is the largest system based here, both by revenue and number of hospitals, with 33 stretching from South Jersey to near Scranton. CHOP is among the nation\u2019s top-ranked children\u2019s hospitals.<\/p>\n Janice Nevin<\/a> at ChristianaCare joined the ranks of the top five. She received $3.5 million, about the same pay as the region\u2019s fourth highest earner, Al Maghezehe at Capital Health, which has a network of outpatient clinics in Bucks County<\/a> and two hospitals in Mercer County. Maghezehe\u2019s compensation stands out because Capital had by far the lowest revenue among the systems with the 10 highest-paid CEOs.<\/p>\n A couple of CEOs who left their positions before 2024 continued collecting long-term compensation, as is common in the industry. <\/p>\n Most notably, Jefferson\u2019s former CEO Stephen K. Klasko collected just over $1 million in 2024. He retired at the end of 2021, but remained an adviser through June 2022. The 2024 payment brought his total through 2024 <\/a>to $48.7 million<\/a> for 8\u00bd years as CEO<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lori Herndon left AtlantiCare in June 2023. Her compensation the following year was $1.3 million. <\/p>\n Other CEOs left during 2024, making it possible they will be listed in the next round of 990s. Those executives include Donald Mueller at St. Christopher\u2019s Hospital for Children<\/a>, Michael Laign at Redeemer Health<\/a>, and Ronald W. Johnson at Shore Medical. <\/p>\n Here\u2019s a look at the numbers from The Inquirer\u2019s review of the latest 990 tax returns of 20 nonprofit health systems, covering 11 health systems with operations concentrated in Southeastern Pennsylvania, seven in South Jersey, and two in northern Delaware:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to article \u2022\u00a00:00 min Jefferson\u2019s Joseph G.
