Now do a story on the compensation of top executives of non-profit health care organizations. Non-profit organizations can't pay a return to owners, but some employees do very well.

Okay, here's a summary of how the UPMC CEO salary has changed over time, based on the info I found:

* **Jeffrey Romoff (Former CEO, retired in 2021):**

* **2009:** $4.01 million (salary, bonuses, and benefits) [^1]

* **2010:** $5.97 million (total compensation) [^2]

* **2019:** $9.5 million [^3]

* **2020:** $10.4 million [^4]

* **2021:** $10,387,010 [^5]

* **2022:** $12,880,205 (as former CEO) [^6]

* **2023:** $17,886,701 (as former CEO) [^7][^8]; also reported as almost $18 million [^9]

* **Leslie Davis (Current CEO):**

* **2022:** $4,211,830 (as SVP and COO) [^6]

* **2023:** $11,314,762 [^7][^8]; also reported as over $11 million [^9]

So, it looks like Romoff's compensation generally increased over the years, even after his retirement, and Davis's compensation also significantly increased when she took over as CEO.

Yes, ours made millions a year on the backs of the nursing and ancillary staff, always cutting, cutting, cutting.
