New York state is set to have its third health commissioner in as many years, with Dr. Mary T. Bassett announcing her plans to resign Friday after just a year on the job.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, who tapped Bassett for the health job, didn't immediately say who would replace her as New York continues its pandemic recovery and looks to fortify itself against other current and future health scourges.Her departure takes effect on Jan. 1, 2023, at which point Bassett says she'll return to the Harvard Chan School of Public Health, where she is a professor.
"This was a very difficult decision. I have tremendous admiration for the work our staff has done during a very difficult year responding to COVID, mpox, polio and the day-to-day challenges of protecting New Yorkers’ health," Bassett said in a statement announcing her plans. "I am leaving now so the next commissioner can have the chance to lead this great department for a full 4-year term under the leadership of Gov. Hochul," she added."I am grateful that the Governor gave me the opportunity to serve as commissioner, and I know that the department and public health will be in good hands thanks to her leadership and the incredible talent and dedication of the staff.
