Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson has indicated that he would at least be open to a change of leadership at the Chicago Department of Public Health, but the city’s top doctor is hopeful that she can stay on in her position.
In an interview with NBC 5 health reporter Lauren Petty, Arwady said that she is “hopeful” to continue on in the role that had her spearhead the city’s efforts at combatting the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I definitely hope to stay,” she said. “I’m really proud of the work that the Chicago Department of Public Health has done. I’ve really enjoyed my job, even with how crazy it’s been with COVID.” Questions about Arwady’s future in the department arose last month during a forum where Johnson indicated that he would seek a leadership change. “We have different views of public health, so no, she will not stay on in my administration,” he said during a mayoral forum hosted by WBEZ. “I’m looking forward to sitting down with Dr. Arwady,” she said. “We went through a 100-year pandemic, it’s going to be important to have her expertise.
