In the plan, the eight executives would no longer be county employees at the hospital and would instead form their own private company, which would then contract with Lewis County General.

“The pension has been an anvil here, and any relief we can provide, we certainly need to look at that,” Lewis County General COO Eric Burch said in the report.
New York’s Department of Health and comptroller’s office will have to approve the plan.
