Dr. Katz has helmed the city’s public health system since September 2017.
“Through the pandemic, under his leadership, hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers entrusted their care to NYC Health + Hospitals. New Yorkers saw a vital and vibrant health system, which Dr. Katz has strengthened and stabilized during his tenure here,” Jose Pagan, board chair, said in the release.
Before joining NYC Health + Hospitals, Dr. Katz was director of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, one of the nation’s largest public safety-net systems. He also spent 13 years as director and health officer of the San Francisco Department of Health.
