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.
