The suit originated with Pediatrix, a provider of pediatric subspecialty services, attempting to enforce the “no-hire” or noncompete clause which would have prevented Tri-City from appointing Hamid Movahhedian, MD, as head of the NICU.
“We are gratified that the Arbitrator followed the law and allowed Tri-City to retain the most qualified physician, Dr. Movahhedian, as director of the NICU,” said Larry B. Anderson, Tri-City’s CEO, in a news release. “I hope that other hospitals will follow suit and challenge illegal contracts that limit a hospital’s ability to hire the best physicians available.”
