Governor Neil Abercrombie appointed Linda Rosen<\/strong> as director of the Department of Health<\/a> (DOH<\/abbr>). Rosen’s appointment is subject to state Senate confirmation. She has been a faculty member of the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine<\/a> since 1987, as assistant and associate professor of pediatrics, and is currently an associate clinical professor of pediatrics and surgery.<\/p>\n

“Linda has more than 30 years of experience in the medical field and has held administrative positions for more than a decade,” said Gov<\/abbr>. Abercrombie. “Drawing from existing leadership within the health department, I have full confidence that Linda will continue the significant progress realized under late Director Loretta Fuddy for the remainder of her term.”<\/p>\n

With the DOH<\/abbr> since 2000, Rosen has served as medical director of the Family Health Services Division and Pediatric Emergency Services, deputy director for Health Resources Administration and, most recently, chief of the Emergency Medical Services and Injury Prevention System Branch, where she was responsible for administering a comprehensive emergency medical services system, including 911 ambulance services, trauma system development and community injury prevention.<\/p>\n

Rosen is a pediatrician by training, working in the emergency and critical care and neonatology departments at the Kapiʻolani<\/span> Medical Center for Women and Children<\/a> from 1985 to 2000.<\/p>\n
