Since 2018 Dr. Mitchell Katz has led NYC Health + Hospitals, the largest municipal health care system in the United States with 11 acute care hospitals, dozens of community health centers, and an insurance plan, Metro Health Plus, among other vital healthcare resources. Dr. Katz has modernized major aspects within the system, including the creation of an outreach program to homeless New Yorkers, and NYC Care for more than 100,000 uninsured New Yorkers.
