NYC’s Fiscally Troubled Public-Hospital System Gets New CEO



By Mara Gay

Mayor Bill de Blasio has chosen a new official to lead New York City’s sprawling, fiscally troubled public-hospital system.

Mitchell Katz, currently director of the Los Angeles County Health Agency, will lead the system, known as NYC Health + Hospitals, a de Blasio administration official told The Wall Street Journal.

The New York City agency has been without a permanent CEO since former CEO Ram Raju stepped down last November. Stanley Brezenoff, who first served as CEO in the 1980s, has been serving as interim CEO since then.

NYC Health + Hospitals oversees 11 public hospitals and serves more than 1.3 million people every year, many of them with low incomes who may not be able to afford treatment elsewhere.
