Summary of Request:
On August 19, 2019, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors appointed Noemi Doohan, M.D., Ph.D., as Public Health Officer for Mendocino County, a position she held until appointment of a new Public Health Officer in September 2020. Since then, Dr. Doohan has continued as Mendocino County’s Deputy Public Health Officer to assist the new Health Officer and to provide consulting services during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Doohan’s contract expired on December 31, 2020.
The Public Health Branch of the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) requests retroactive approval of a new contract with Dr. Doohan to allow continued consultation and provision of Deputy Public Health Officer services. HHSA makes the request for retroactive approval due to processing and staffing constraints related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
