EXTRA PAY FOR PSYCHIATRISTS AT CHERRY AND BROUGHTON HOSPITALS

The state pays psychiatrists at its mental hospitals extra to work overnight and weekend shifts. From 2012 to 2015, Cherry Hospital psychiatrists were paid $1.3 million, whereas at Broughton the total was $560,000. The total was lower at Broughton because the hospital schedules some doctors to work nights and weekends as part of their regular schedule. Here is a breakdown of that pay by year.
