Knowing some of the doctors there and the overall philosophy of TV Health I doubt it. On the other hand, the doctors are employees and don't have the final word on overall policy. I would think, physician recruitment issues aside, that they would be very happy to fulfill their original plan of 8 primary care centers with 6 docs each and sign up as many residents as possible. This in turn would attract more specialists and ancillary services and make for a more vibrant healthcare system in TV
