Marylou Sudders, who oversaw COVID-19 response efforts and helmed the sprawling health and human services secretariat, plans to retire from public service early next year.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders speaks at a COVID-19 vaccine site at the Natick Mall on Feb. 24, 2021, in Natick, Mass.
"Having entered state service in 1978, it has been the privilege of my professional career and an extraordinarily humbling experience to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services for Governor Baker and Lt. Governor Polito," Sudders wrote."In November, 'my papers' for retirement from paid public service were filed with an effective date of January 5th."
"The goal has always been to channel the millions of Massachusetts residents that need governmental assistance in order to have good lives for themselves and their loved ones," she wrote."And, to achieve that goal it was my responsibility to ensure that the resources were there for you to carry out your mission of public service. There is always more work ahead, challenges to surmount and opportunities for improvement.
