Dr. LaQuandra S. Nesbitt via DC Health From the Mayor's Office: 'Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that after more than seven and half years of leading DC
“Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that, Dr. LaQuandra Nesbitt will be departing the agency and moving on to new endeavors outside of DC Government. In announcing Dr. Nesbitt’s departure, the Mayor released the following statement:
“When I asked Dr. Nesbitt to come back to Washington, DC to lead DC Health, I knew she was the public health leader our city needed – someone who would focus on health equity, who had experience working with a wide range of populations, and who knew DC and the issues our community faces. None of us knew then that the director of DC Health would also become responsible for leading us through a global pandemic.
Throughout her tenure as Director of DC Health, which began in January 2015, Dr. Nesbitt has led with a focus on health equity and improving the quality of health programs and healthcare services for all DC residents, working to address the District’s most challenging health issues. In 2015, she established the agency’s Office of Health Equity to facilitate collaboration with other District agencies and key partners. Dr.
Dr. Nesbitt will step down on July 29, 2022 and an announcement about interim leadership will be forthcoming.”
