Governor Bill Lee announced Thursday that Tennessee Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Lisa Piercey will depart from state government and enter the private sector.
Dr. Piercey joined the Lee administration in January 2019 as the youngest female health commissioner appointed to the role and served the state during what has been one of the most challenging public health crises in modern history.
Dr. Piercey will remain with the Tennessee Department of Health through May 31, 2022.
