A severance package for a third senior Erlanger Health System executive brings to nearly $1 million the amount the hospital has agreed to pay out to former employees in this year.
Dr. Keith Helton, who was senior vice president of physician services until last fall, was given a six-month severance of $92,492, according to his Jan. 22 separation agreement.
That came atop a $157,014 severance given to Doug Fisher, Erlanger’s vice president of government affairs, marketing and community relations, when he left Jan. 13.
CEO Jim Brexler, who hired Fisher and later married Fisher’s daughter, was given a $728,000 severance package to be paid over 15 months when he left Dec. 31.
