Hello Public Health Colleagues:
I wanted to drop you a note and let you know that I have accepted the position of Director of the NC Institute for Public Health.
https://sph.unc.edu/sph-news/urland-to-lead-nc-institute-of-public-health/.
My last day at Catawba County Public Health is October 24, 2019. It has been an honor and privilege to serve as a local health director over the last 24 years. I have thoroughly enjoyed living and working in three very different
communities in NC and learned a tremendous amount from those experiences. I am grateful for the friendships and professional relationships I have established with all local health directors both current and past. You have all been an inspiration and your communities
should be proud of the work you do every day. I look forward to working with you in my new capacity as together we strive to make a positive impact on the health throughout NC and beyond.
Thanks and have a good evening!
Best regards,
Doug
Douglas W. Urland
