"You have to look at the role hospitals play in their community," Ed Quinlan, president of the Hospital Association of Rhode Island, told WPRI.com on Thursday. "Executive compensation is determined by hospital boards based on the financial performance of the hospital, based on the financial stability of the hospital—there's multiple factors."
