Honored to have been appointed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (@HHSGov) to serve as Deputy Director for Public Affairs, overseeing the @CDCgov’s Office of Communications. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve in President Trump’s administration and look forward to working alongside the dedicated professionals at HHS & CDC to advance our nation’s public health priorities.

As my time at the Florida Department of Health comes to a close, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have served the people of Florida. It was an honor to work directly for @GovRonDeSantis, the most effective governor in Florida history, and serve in his administration. I’ll always be grateful that he brought me on and gave me that opportunity. I wish him nothing but the best moving forward. I’m equally grateful to have worked for @FLSurgeonGen Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, who I believe is the nation’s best State Surgeon General. His leadership and commitment to defending parental rights and protecting medical freedom have left a lasting impact on Florida’s public health landscape. It was a privilege to serve alongside him and his team. To my colleagues at @HealthyFla, thank you for your friendship, dedication, and commitment to serving Floridians. I’m proud of what we accomplished together and look forward to what lies ahead.

Prepare early. Stay informed. Be ready. A storm is moving through the Gulf and may impact Florida. As conditions develop, now is a good time to take a few simple steps to prepare. Review your plans, gather any supplies you may need, and stay up to date with local weather information. A little preparation now can help you feel ready for whatever the weather brings.

Floridians, please review your emergency plan, check your supplies, and make sure you have the medications and medical essentials you and your family may need.
Today, I signed Executive Order 26-202, declaring a state of emergency for 25 counties in preparation for Tropical Depression Nine. This order ensures communities have the time and resources necessary to prepare for potential severe weather impacts to the Panhandle and Big Bend region of Florida. Floridians should have their plans in place, keep emergency supply kits fully stocked, and follow @FLSERT for weather updates and preparedness information.

🚨 10/6: Invest #91L has strengthened to Tropical Depression #Nine. Residents should ensure they have multiple ways to receive emergency alerts & a fully stocked disaster supply kit. ⬇️ Watch below for more info on what Floridians can expect.
Tue Oct 6: Here is the latest update on newly formed Tropical Depression #Nine from the National Hurricane Center: TD #Nine in the western Gulf is forecast to strengthen. There is an increasing risk of dangerous wind & storm surge impacts along portions of the northern Gulf Coast. Watches could be required on Wednesday. The system will bring areas of heavy rain to the central U.S. Gulf coast Friday into the weekend, with flooding possible. Residents from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle should monitor the latest forecast updates & ensure they have their hurricane plan in place.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the families, first responders, and communities whose lives were forever changed that day. We remember, we honor, and we stand together in reflection. 🇺🇸

A little prevention today can save you a BIG headache later. Dengue is being locally acquired in Florida, and prevention starts with three simple things: 🦟Spray insect repellent 👕Cover exposed skin 💧Drain standing water Don't let one mosquito cost you more than a bite.
ICYMI: Last week, the Florida Department of Health joined mosquito control experts in Hillsborough County to remind Floridians to protect themselves and their communities from mosquito-borne illness following an increase in locally acquired dengue infections. Remember the three core mosquito prevention measures: 🦟 Spray insect repellent. 👕 Cover with clothing. 💧 Drain standing water where mosquitoes can breed.
