On August 11, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that Bruce T. Vanderhoff, MD, will become the director of the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) and that Stephanie McCloud, who has been serving as director of ODH, is returning to lead the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation as administrator. Dr. Vanderhoff is a family physician and a member of the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians.
“Working together as a team, Ms. McCloud and Dr. Vanderhoff guided ODH over the past nine months. I am pleased that Dr. Vanderhoff has agreed to serve as director of ODH. His medical and organizational expertise will help the department as we move forward and continue to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. I would also like to thank Ms. McCloud for her leadership of ODH and look forward to her return to lead the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation,” said Gov. Mike DeWine.
The changes were effective on August 16. Both positions require confirmation by the Ohio Senate.
Congratulations, Dr. Vanderhoff!
