Adventist Health

[GertieDane]

Is this officially affiliated with the church? I am wondering because our local arena is named Adventist Health Arena and it was jarring to see the headline: "Lil Wayne, along with Jeremih and Lil' Kim, will perform at a rap concert in Stockton, California, on February 1, 2025, at the Adventist Health Arena." If you haven't heard of Lil Wayne or Jeremih or Lil'Kim then I suggest you don't Google their lyrics.

I did a bit of research and found a link with the salaries from a while back:

• 1,965 employees received more than $100,000 in compensation with the 22 most highly compensated employees listed below:
  • $5,678,983: Terry D Shaw, Director/President/CEO
  • $3,906,271: David Ottati, SEVP/CEO W Florida Division
  • $2,853,096: David Banks, EVP, Chief Strategy Officer
  • $2,747,966: Paul Rathbun, SEVP/CFO
  • $2,610,276: Randall L Haffner, Director/SEVP/CEO Central Florida Division
  • $2,027,198: Todd Goodman, SVP/CFO Central Florida Division
  • $1,911,910: Kenneth Bacon, SEVP/CEO Multi-State Division
  • $1,870,874: Patricia Celano, SVP/Assoc Chief Clinical Officer....

This forum is an independent project and is not an official channel of the SDA church.

Sad situation indeed. Was the local leadership held accountable?

Not sure if this is connected to the alleged mismanagement of ADRA funds. If so, Spectrum Magazine wrote an article correcting the media reports over the same issue.
