Rochester Regional Health CEO Richard “Chip” Davis praised Governor Hochul’s late-December veto of the wrongful death expansion bill, calling it a crucial win for patients, healthcare providers, and underserved communities.
Davis emphasized that rejecting the legislation prevents rising liability costs, helping retain doctors in New York and maintaining hospital financial stability. He reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to collaborating with lawmakers on balanced malpractice reforms that ensure equitable outcomes while safeguarding access to quality care for all New Yorkers.
