The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday announced in an internal email a sweeping review of the agency.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky told employees that Jim Macrae, associate administrator for primary health care at the Health Resources and Services Administration, would be conducting a one-month review of the organization that has been in the public spotlight amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Walensky said that on Monday, Macrae will begin evaluating current COVID-19 efforts and “provide me with insight on how the delivery of our science and program can be further strengthened during this critical time of transition.”
CDC Chief Operating Officer Robin Bailey, acting Principal Deputy Director Deb Houry and chief of staff Sherri Berger will also be gathering information about the agency’s structure to offer advice for “strategic change.”
“At the conclusion of this collective effort, we will develop new systems and processes to deliver our science and program to the American people, along with a plan for how CDC should be structured to facilitate the public health work we do,” Walensky wrote.
