Dr. Katz explains the intricate employment structure for physicians at H+H, highlighting that the majority are not directly employed by the city but through various affiliate groups.

  • Majority of doctors are employed by four different affiliate groups, with PAGNY being the largest
  • PAGNY was created about 25 years ago when the city and some medical schools decided to end their direct partnerships
  • The structure results in multiple different agreements within PAGNY itself, leading to complexities in employment terms
