FRASER HEALTH EXECUTIVES PAID $2.3M IN 2014 ▶ YEAR SAW PRESIDENT AND CEO DR. NIGEL MURRAY DEPART TOP JOB AT HEALTH AUTHORITY JEFF NAGEL
Top executives at Fraser Health collected a total of nearly $2.3 million in pay, benefits and other compensation last year.
FUN FOR ALL AGES!
Former president and CEO Dr. Nigel Murray was paid $153,000 for serving just over half the year until he resigned effective last July 10. That included $100,575 in salary, about $16,000 in benefits and pension, and nearly $35,000 in unused vacation payout, according to the health authority’s financial disclosures. Murray was not paid a severance because he resigned voluntarily to return to New Zealand as the province was set to unveil significant reforms at the health authority. Dr. David Ostrom took over from Murray as interim CEO for the second half of the year, drawing total compensation of $140,000.
A new permanent CEO – Michael Marchbank – took over in early January this year at an annual salary of $345,000. The highest paid executive last year was Andrew Webb, vice-president of medicine, who was paid a $271,440 salary and combined compensation of $321,000. Vice-president of infomatics Philip Barker and vice-president of operations and strategic planning Marc Pelletier both received combined compensation of about $293,000. continued on page 5
