Yolo County Public Health Officer Aimee Sisson, M.P.H. ’07, would be working on ways to prevent chronic diseases, coordinating with local health care providers and encouraging healthy behavior for the 220,000 residents of the county.But for now, her focus is entirely on the coronavirus pandemic. Sisson took up her new position in October, filling the vacancy left when Ron Chapman retired in June, ending a 35-year career. The pandemic was already in full swing, and Sisson had recently resigned in protest from the same position in Placer County when its board of supervisors voted that COVID-19 was no longer an emergency, supported herd immunity through infections and disputed data on the number of deaths COVID-19 was causing.She said she doesn’t mind the 12-hour days (plus two more half-days on weekends), because the position gives her the ability to make a real difference in the lives of thousands of people all at once.
