“President Barack Obama has selected New York City's health commissioner to head the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dr. Thomas Frieden has served as commissioner for the past seven years. He has led a campaign to ban smoking in restaurants and bars, boosted the number of New Yorkers getting HIV tests and helped to distribute millions of free condoms. In a statement announcing Frieden's appointment, Obama said the new CDC chief had been a leader in the fight for health care reform. Obama also said Frieden's experiences confronting public health challenges in our country and abroad will be essential in his new job. Frieden does not require Senate confirmation.”
