Fox name HRSA administrator

After serving more than a year as acting administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Claude Earl Fox, M.D., M.P.H., was appointed HRSA administrator May 12. Dr. Fox is board certified in preventive medicine and public health, and board qualified in pediatrics.

HRSA, within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has a $3.67 billion budget and 2,000 employees. It expands access to care for poor, uninsured and isolated individuals and families through an array of grants to state and local governments, health care providers and health professions training programs. HRSA supports 607 community health centers; funds services for people living with HIV/AIDS through the Ryan White CARE Act; assists states and health care organizations to improve services to mothers and children; and works with academic health centers and other training programs to enhance the diversity and distribution of the nation's health care work force.

"I'm pleased that the path Earl Fox started down as a rural public health doctor led him to HHS, to become one of our country's leading doctors," HHS Secretary Donna Shalala said in a statement.
