13 healthcare CEOs facing most shareholder opposition to pay

Since 2011, shareholders have had the right to vote on compensation, and some healthcare CEOs have faced significant shareholder opposition to their proposed pay packages.

The 13 healthcare companies below have had some of the most shareholder votes cast against their CEO's pay package, according to a 2020 report from nonprofit shareholder advocacy group As You Sow. The nonprofit used voting data from Morningstar Fund Votes and compensation information to rank 100 S&P 500 companies with the most shareholder votes against CEO pay.

As You Sow notes some CEOs may no longer hold the positions listed below, as the rankings were calculated using data made available before June 30, 2019.

Here are 13 healthcare CEOs on the list:
