Lifschutz worked for 14 years as a surgeon at JFK as a member of JFK’s medical staff (the medical staff). In August 2015, Lifschutz entered into a confidential settlement agreement with JFK. Lifschutz agreed to resign from the hospital’s medical practice, to move his practice, and to cease practicing at the hospital or “at any affiliated facility.” In exchange for Lifschutz’s resignation, JFK paid Lifschutz an undisclosed, confidential sum.
