We are excited to celebrate Dorothy Fink’s appointment as the Acting Head of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). This pivotal transition marks the beginning of a promising new chapter for DHHS and the communities we serve, particularly in women’s health.

Dorothy has inspired our organization by showcasing exceptional leadership qualities and a steadfast commitment to advancing health and human services. Her extensive background in healthcare policy and passion for community outreach uniquely positions her to lead DHHS during this critical leadership transition, particularly in enhancing women’s health research and care.

Impact on Public Health

Recent reports highlight the significant impact of DHHS on public health initiatives that directly enhance communities in many ways. From innovative programs to improve access to mental health resources to groundbreaking strategies tackling maternal and child health, Dorothy’s skills promise to sustain and expand these vital efforts. With her involvement, DHHS will address our time’s most pressing health challenges, fostering continued improvements in women’s health.

As we look forward to the initiatives and projects that will emerge from the experience and insights of a new leadership team, we encourage everyone to stay actively involved with DHHS. Your input and contributions are essential in creating a future where health services are more accessible and effective for all women in our communities.

Congratulations once again, Dorothy Fink! We eagerly await the progress and transformative changes that will emerge from DHHS. Here’s to new beginnings and a shared commitment to advancing women’s health research and care!

It is important to note that Dr. Fink has a specialized interest in Primary Ovarian Insufficiency, as demonstrated in her research report: Fragile X Associated Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (FXPOI): Case Report and Literature Review
