A cash-strapped hospital that was supposed to serve D.C.’s poorest residents doled out more than $3.2 million to its top 17 executives last year, documents obtained by The Examiner show.

Greater Southeast Hospital also paid more than $633,000 in bonuses to employees even as it was fending off angry creditors in bankruptcy court and asking the District government to intervene. The 17 executives were paid at least $153,000 each. Nine staffers at the hospital were paid at least $208,000, including Chief Executive Officer Cyril A. Allen, who was paid an $86,500 bonus on top of his $282,500-plus salary, the records show.
