The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) congratulates Dr. Susan Monarez on her Senate confirmation as Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This confirmation marks a critical milestone for the CDC and the broader public health community as Dr. Monarez is the first Senate confirmed CDC director.
Dr. Monarez’s confirmation brings much-needed stability and authority to an agency critical to protecting the health and safety of Americans. With her deep expertise in biomedical innovation, antimicrobial resistance, and pandemic preparedness, Dr. Monarez is uniquely positioned to guide the CDC through both ongoing public health challenges and future emergencies. We look forward to working with Dr. Monarez as she leads CDC to restore public confidence in public health based on evidence-based practices.
We commend the Senate for recognizing the importance of steady, qualified leadership of the CDC. SHEA looks forward to partnering with Dr. Monarez to advance shared goals for infection prevention, antimicrobial stewardship, and public health preparedness.
