Dr. Anne Zink, the state’s chief medical officer in the Dunleavy Administration, announced that she is resigning this year.
She was hired by Dunleavy in July 2019, and six months later the Covid pandemic hit the world, putting her front and center in managing through what was then an unknown, scary, and often deadly virus.
She said on X/Twitter: “Deeply honored to serve as Alaska’s CMO, grateful for the resilience and spirit of Alaskans. I am transitioning out of state service later this year, but my dedication to health, wellness, and #Alaskans remains unwavering—thank you for your trust.”
She will leave state service in April.
