| Description | Arizona Department of Health Services Director Sue Gerard4 is resigning her position, effective Aug. 1.
“I'd like to thank Governor Napolitano for giving me the opportunity to work at my dream job for the last three years,” Gerard wrote in a statement released Thursday. “It has been a privilege to work for the people of Arizona and we've made some wonderful progress toward improving the quality and availability of health care. But I think this is the right time for me to move on. We have an excellent staff in place and I'm proud of the progress we've made.”
Gerard was appointed head of the department – one of the state's largest, with more than 1,800 state employees – in April 2005.
Previously, the 35-year Arizona resident was a chief adviser to Gov. Janet Napolitano on health care issues, and served as a Republican legislator from 1988 to 2002. Replacing Gerard on an interim basis is January Contreras, the governor's adviser on health issues. |
