    Council Member Mercedes Narcisse inquires about the potential impact of a work stoppage on vulnerable patient populations at H+H facilities. Dr. Mitch Katz explains the likely effects and mitigation strategies.

    • Low-income people in New York City would be disproportionately affected
    • ICU patients would be prioritized for transfer to other facilities if necessary
    • Outpatient appointments would be canceled, with urgent cases directed to emergency departments
    • A triage system would be implemented to manage patient care during the stoppage
