FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR- 276-11 July 29, 2011 STATEMENT OF MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG ON APPOINTMENT OF RAMANATHAN RAJU, MD AS CEO OF COOK COUNTY HEALTH SYSTEM "The departure of New York City’s Health and Hospitals Corporation Chief Operating Officer Dr. Ramanathan Raju is a real loss to New York City’s public hospitals. But we can take a small amount of comfort in knowing that when elected officials ranging from President Barack Obama to Governor Chris Christie – and now Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle – search the country for the most innovative and transformative leaders working in any government, they seem to find them in New York City more often than any other single place."
