Hospitals may be top-heavy in administration, the COO's annual stipends rival COO's of Fortune 500 COO's! They claim they are in line with their piers. I think they are all out of line. Companies COO's are judged on their profit performance and paid accordingly. I just can't see how non-profits COOs justify their salaries when they are losing money!
