Erlanger Health System will choose Hutcheson Medical Center’s top three executives and pay them a combined $1 million a year, a 58 percent increase over what those positions were paid, according to a document detailing the management agreement between the hospitals.
The document, obtained by the Chattanooga Times Free Press, also spells out a plan to conduct a top-to-bottom personnel review as part of a strategic plan.
“HMC and Erlanger will identify and transition certain employees,” the document states.
“Some may be offered a position at Erlanger, ‘leased’ by Erlanger from Hutcheson, or otherwise contract with one of them,” the document states. “Through December 2012, Erlanger will maintain a list of transitioned employees and endeavor to hire those who match with an appropriate position opening.”
No timeline for a personnel review is identified.
