It took a long time for our fine hospital management to figure out how well they did and tell the IRS. Two extensions later, it looks like some people did quite well.

There was a lot of money in running this charity in FY1997-98.
Often, charitable corporations are judged on how much of the money goes toward their mission, and how much goes toward overhead. Since much of this is your taxes, let’s see how they’re doing.
| Total Spending..... | $50,825,529 |
| Health Care..... | $39,186,025 |
| Overhead..... | $11,639,504 |
What can we do? Let’s take salaries of Dick Lind and Johnette Vodenicker and divide among the employees, who didn’t get a raise:
| big-shot salaries..... | $443,329 |
| div by employees..... | 400 |
| raise for workers..... | $1108.32 |
The 1997-98 tax returns are the most recent. It took ten months and two extensions for the bean counters to do their job. Look for an ‘‘efficiency in motion’’ award.
The ‘‘one week’’ and ‘‘one minute’’ figures are based on 50 40-hour weeks per year. Rates will be lower if they spend 9 hours/day telling us of their dedication.
Some interesting system expenses:
| legal bills..... | $396,705 |
| all travel..... | $314,114 |
| (by management)..... | $101,627 |
| all equipment r&m..... | $5,697,080 |
| (for management)..... | $4,012,100 |
Ads cost $971,536. It might be cheaper to just run the hospitals well and use word-of-mouth.
