Former New York-Presbyterian president Dr. Robert E. Kelly
The
top-paid New York hospital executive in 2015 wasn't a CEO of one of the
city's large academic medical centers. It was Dr. Robert E. Kelly, the
former president of New York–Presbyterian, who resigned in part due to
an extramarital affair.
Kelly later
acknowledged the indiscretion while vying for the top job at Memorial
Healthcare System, a large public provider in South Florida, according to the Sun Sentinel. He said the affair did not involve an NYP employee. Kelly, who was one of two finalists for the Florida job, was not selected.
In September 2015 Kelly resigned abruptly from the health system, which removed his biography and name from its website with no explanation. An NYP spokeswoman told Crain's at the time that he had left "for personal reasons."
Despite
working for the system only eight months, he was the highest-paid
executive in 2015, earning $6.36 million, including $3.47 million in
severance, according to the Crain's list of the top-earning executives in the metro area.
