Dr. Ezike Reflects on Time in Office

Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike is looking back on her time serving the state with only days left in office. The top doctor led the state through the COVID-19 pandemic but is leaving her post after serving three years in the role for family reasons.

 

 

Ezike, married with four kids, is the first Black woman appointed to lead the 143-year-old state agency. I-D-P-H assistant director Dr. Amaal Tokars will serve on an interim basis while the state searches for a replacement.
