NYC Health + Hospitals, officially the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC), operates the public hospitals and clinics in New York City as a public benefit corporation. NYC Health + Hospitals is the largest municipal health system in the United States with about 45,000 employees. Its main mission is to ensure healthcare access through its network of safety net hospitals, long-term/rehabilitation centers and outpatient clinics.
HHC was created in 1969 by the New York State Legislature as a public benefit corporation. It is similar to a municipal agency, but has a board of directors.
