New York Public Health Law Section 451 - Directors of hospitals; removal and suspension.

 451. Directors of hospitals; removal and suspension. 1. The director
  of  a  hospital in the department may be removed by the commissioner for
  cause stated in  writing,  after  an  opportunity  has  been  given  the
  director  to  be heard thereon. Such action by the commissioner shall be
  final. The board of visitors of the hospital, however, shall be notified
  of any such hearing and its members be given an opportunity to be  heard
  thereat.  Pending  the  investigation  by  the  commissioner or board of
  visitors of any charges against a director, the commissioner may suspend
  such director.
2. The commissioner may prefer charges of misconduct  or  incompetency
  against  the  director  of a hospital in the department, to the board of
  visitors, and the board of  visitors  shall  thereupon  investigate  the
  truth  of  such  charges  and  make  its  recommendations thereon to the
  commissioner, or the commissioner or his duly authorized  representative
  may  investigate  any  charges  of like nature made to the commissioner.
  The investigating authority may subpoena witnesses, and  take  and  hear
  testimony.
