Show Notes

This week, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has named former New York City Health Commissioner Mary Bassett to lead the state’s health department.

Also, a COVID vaccine mandate for healthcare workers started this week in New York — and with it, a fear of staffing shortages at medical facilities.
