Broward Health - Powerful Paychecks



Operating one of the nation's largest tax-funded local hospital systems, the North Broward Hospital District last month changed it's name to "Broward Health - Powerful Medicine."

Better the District's new name was "Broward Health - Powerful Paychecks."

How so?

There seems to be few better places to work in South Florida than Broward's huge government-run health care system -- especially if you're an executive.

Pity the local media has ignored the remarkable trends in District salaries funded by local tax payers and patients.

About Me

An investigative reporter on the Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal team that won the Pultizer Prize for its coverage of the Kent State shootings, I spent 40 years as a journalist, editor, columnist and writing coach. During my final decade as a journalist, I served as a writer-in-residence at Boise (Idaho) State University and conducted all-day Writing & Editing seminars for working journalists throughout the United States and Northern Europe. My interest in health care issues stems from the post-newspaper years I spent as a policy analyst answering directly to Florida Attorney General Robert A. Butterworth.
