Dr. Amy Acton Steps Down As Director of the Ohio Health Department

Dr. Acton has told me that she felt that it was time for her to step down as @OHdeptofhealth. I have asked her to now serve as my Chief Health Advisor where she will continue to serve the people of Ohio in a meaningful way.

In her new role, she will take a comprehensive and holistic approach to address health and well-being for all Ohioans. In addition to advising on health issues, she will continue to focus on the #COVID19 crisis, while remaining committed to the vision of @OHdeptofhealth.
