Her commitment to protecting and promoting public health in the district is strong and we believe she is ready to lead the department through what is sure to be a challenging few years.”
Condon shared her vision for the role, saying, “I’m honored to step into this role and build on the strong foundation already established here. Public health is fundamentally about serving our community. I look forward to listening, learning, and working alongside residents to address the health challenges we face together. While the work ahead won’t always be easy, I believe in what we can accomplish together when we combine proven strategies with strong community partnerships.”
