Allegheny Health Network CEO John Paul received $1.8 million in total compensation last year, one of two executives at the second-largest hospital system in Pittsburgh to be paid more than $1 million. The compensation is far below what West Penn Allegheny Health System paid its former CEO before Highmark Health acquired the system of hospitals and integrated it into Allegheny Health last year. West Penn Allegheny paid former CEO Christopher Olivia $6 million in 2011, the last year that it had a permanent chief executive. Since the April 2013 acquisition by Highmark, Allegheny Health has cut expenses, including laying off hundreds of workers, and boosted revenue as part of a strategy to return the system to profitability.
