Dr. Bob England is leaving the Pima County Department of Health after a year as the interim director.
England, who originally agreed to hold the position for three months, became the face of the Pima County response to the pandemic through his YouTube briefings. On Friday, during his last briefing, he told the community he had “fallen in love.”
“I really think, this place more than most has a good chance to just cut through the politics and just do right by each other. So, thank you very much for that,” England said.
Dr. Theresa Cullen takes over as director of the Pima County Department of Health on June 1. She is a former U.S. assistant surgeon general and holds the rank of rear admiral.
