The Department of Health and Human Services announced that Susan Monarez is no longer serving as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, just weeks after taking office.
In a statement posted to its official X account, the agency thanked Monarez “for her dedicated service to the American people.” No reason was given for her departure.
HHS added that Secretary Kennedy has “full confidence in his team at the CDC who will continue to be vigilant in protecting Americans against infectious diseases at home and abroad.”
