Dr. Debra Bogen, Allegheny County Health Department head, nominated as Pennsylvania's secretary
https://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-state/2023/01/11/debra-bogen-pennsylvania-health-secretary-allegheny-county-josh-shapiro/stories/202301110065Dr. Debra Bogen, head of the Allegheny County Health Department, has been nominated as Pennsylvania’s secretary of health.
Gov.-elect Josh Shapiro announced Dr. Bogen’s appointment Wednesday morning.
Dr. Bogen began her role in Allegheny County in early 2020, and her profile was raised immediately as the face of the county’s COVID-19 response at the outset of and throughout the pandemic.
“We are so proud of Dr. Bogen and thrilled to see this next step in her extraordinary career,” County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said in a statement. “When we announced her hiring in early 2020, none of us could have expected that COVID would be upon us so quickly.”
