Governor Beshear's press release:
The Governor named Eric Friedlander, secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, as this week’s Team Kentucky All-Star, as he will be retiring Aug. 1. Dr. Steven Stack, the commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, will take over as the new secretary of the cabinet.
“Most Kentuckians know these two leaders, because they helped us through a once-in-a-century pandemic,” said Gov. Beshear. “Secretary Friedlander has spent more than 40 years in public service, working day in and day out to help our Kentucky families. His retirement is certainly deserved. And Dr. Stack is more than ready to take on this job. He has shown leadership in the most difficult of times, and now we get to work together to make people healthier, solve some of the complicated medical and health problems facing our commonwealth and improve the lives of Kentuckians.”
“It has been an honor to serve the Governor and the commonwealth,” said Secretary Friedlander. “And it is so wonderful to know that we are turning the cabinet over to someone who has been such a tremendous leader, and has so much wisdom, Dr. Stack. To the Cabinet for Health and Family Service employees, thank you. It has been an honor to serve you.”
“Thank you to Secretary Friedlander for his leadership and thank you to Gov. Beshear for the privilege to serve the people of Kentucky in this new role,” said Dr. Stack. “Public Health and Health and Family Services is essential to ensuring we have healthier people and healthier communities. I will continue to remind Kentuckians how much more we can do together than divided.”
