Dr. Ashwin Vasan, New York City’s health commissioner, is stepping down from his post by early next year, City Hall announced on Monday.
Vasan, whom Mayor Eric Adams first appointed as the city’s top doctor in early 2022, cited personal reasons for his departure that were unconnected to the ongoing storm of federal investigations hanging over City Hall, mayoral spokesperson William Fowler confirmed, following a report by Politico. Reports indicate that Vasan notified his staff and City Hall of his impending departure, which Fowler said will come in early January.
