New Anne Arundel Health Officer Tonii Gedin puts improving health equity at top of priority list

While Tonii Gedin has only officially held the role of Anne Arundel County health officer for about two weeks, she already has some lofty ambitions. Gedin took over as acting health officer in March when Dr. Nilesh Kalyanaraman was tapped by the state’s health department to serve as deputy secretary for public health services. She was approved to be his permanent replacement last week in a unanimous vote by the County Council.
