Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is getting new leadership

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is getting new permanent leadership. The Senate confirmed President Donald Trump’s pick Susan Monarez to serve as CDC director. She’ll be the CDC’s first director without a medical degree in more than 70 years. CDC laid off about 2,400 employees in April. But the agency reinstated about a third of them.

 Nearly 600 employees took voluntary incentives to leave the agency and will be off its rolls by the end of the year.
