Erlanger

Fort Oglethorpe's Erlanger at Hutcheson hospital was recently named in a study by Leapfrog Group, an independent national non-profit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits.

Former Erlanger CEO Jim Brexler will receive roughly $728,000 in severance over the next 15 months, confirmed Erlanger Health System spokesperson Pat Charles on Monday. Charles said the hospital authority will pay the employer portion of Brexler’s group health insurance premium for 18 months. The authority board previously rejected a severance package for Brexler in mid-December 2011.
