hospital\u2019s reported $25 million in executive compensation. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8216;Absolute outrage&#8217;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresno got big mad this week when it was revealed that the CEO of Valley Children\u2019s Hospital earned more than $5 million in 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/fresnoland.org\/2024\/03\/20\/valley-childrens-hospital\/\">Fresnoland\u2019s Omar Shaikh Rashad reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councilmembers Miguel Arias and Garry Bredefeld called executive compensation at the children\u2019s hospital a \u201cdisgrace\u201d and an \u201cabsolute outrage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four other executives, besides CEO Todd Suntrapak, received more than $1 million in total compensation in 2021, according to hospital tax documents. The records were first published through <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.propublica.org\/nonprofits\/organizations\/464158433#:~:text=%245%2C740%2C921-,Compensation,-Key%20Employees%20and\">ProPublica\u2019s Nonprofit Explorer database<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those were hard numbers to swallow for some who\u2019ve stood on cold, busy street corners over the years, slinging damp Kid\u2019s Day newspapers to help the hospital raise money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially, Arias said, after learning the hospital also helped Suntrapak purchase a home in the swanky beach town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, described as a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/fresnoland.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/VCH-990-2021.pdf\">loan for residence<\/a> as a retention incentive in lieu of other compensation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Fresnoland examination of property records confirmed that Suntrapak bought a $6.5 million home in Carmel in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A university professor who<a href=\"https:\/\/abc30.com\/amp\/valley-childrens-ceo-salary-hospital-leaders-tax-documents\/14556062\/\"> studies nonprofit hospitals told ABC30<\/a> that such loans for top executives aren&#8217;t unusual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suntrapak stayed silent this week and the hospital\u2019s official media responses amounted to a kind of exasperated shrug. Yes, he\u2019s worth it, they said. Isn&#8217;t it obvious? After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leapfroggroup.org\/ratings-reports\/top-hospitals#:~:text=Valley%20Children%E2%80%99s%20Hospital\">Valley Children\u2019s Hospital is an elite hospital<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s true, The Fresno Bee\u2019s Marek Warszawski noted, but also not the point for anyone suddenly questioning who really <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fresnobee.com\/opinion\/opn-columns-blogs\/marek-warszawski\/article287003825.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">benefited from all those small donations over the years\u00a0 at places like Panda Express<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valleychildrens.org\/news\/news-story?news=285#:~:text=the%20Heart%20Blog-,Save%20Mart%20and%20FoodMaxx%20Offer%20Shoppers%20Opportunity%20to%20Support,Hospital%20Research%20and%20Treatment%20Initiatives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Save Mart or FoodMaxx<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t help but connect the mental dots from our small contributions to those exorbitant salaries,\u201d Warszawski wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suntrapak\u2019s silence probably wasn\u2019t surprising for PR-types, except that he\u2019s never really been shy before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t even his first clash with Bredefeld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valleychildrens.org\/news\/news-story?&amp;news=252\">Suntrapak criticized<\/a> Bredefeld and other politicians for demanding that schools reopen in July 2020. He\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.valleychildrens.org\/news\/news-story?news=239\">spoken out on social issues<\/a>, too, like the murder of George Floyd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also not the first time Suntrapak has been the focus of SJV Sun, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sjvsun.com\/health\/medi-cal-millionaires-valley-childrens-execs-boast-eye-popping-salaries-backed-by-taxes-donors\/\">Fresno-area website that first published his salary locally this week<\/a>.
