The Director of CDC, Rochelle Walensky, is planning to leave in June

May 8, 2023: Friday, CDC Director Dr Rochelle Walensky announced she would resign at the end of June, which ends a tenure marked by repeated changes to adapt to a changing coronavirus crisis.
Walensky did not give a specific reason for her departure but stated in a letter to the President that the U.S. is changing out of the need for the Covid-19 answer.
“As the COVID-19 public health emergency which points a tremendous change for our country, for public health, and in the tenure as Director of CDC,” Walensky stated in the letter.
“I took on this part, at your request, to leave after the dark days of the pandemic and move CDC forward into a much better and more trusted place,” she stated.
On Thursday, the U.S. public health emergency will end. The World Health Organization stated an end to the global Covid health emergency on Friday.
Biden thanked Walensky for her service in a statement.
“Dr Walensky left CDC a stronger institution, better positioned to confront health crisis and protect Americans,” the President stated.
Walensky approved in August 2022 that the CDC’s response to the pandemic was inadequate.
She established a reorganization that sought to make the agency much faster which respond to disease threats and improve its discussions of health guidance to the public.
But the CDC still needs to work on responding to public health threats due to limited authority in a fragmented healthcare system. The firm will have less information to track Covid and recent variants when the public health crisis expires as it cannot compel states to report this information.
Walensky is assuming leadership of the battered agency in different 2021 as the U.S. rolls out its Covid vaccination assignment. She helmed the public health firm while the national response faced repeated setbacks from the emergence of the delta and omicron variants regarding the pandemic.
Walensky supported leading the U.S. response to the sudden pox outbreak in the summer of 2022.
She has undergone the infectious disease partition at Massachusetts General Institution and was a professor of treatment at Harvard Medical School before entering the Biden administration. Walensky is a specialist in HIV.
