NYC's Health Commissioner Resigns

New York City's Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan announced that he'll be stepping down from the job at the end of the year.

"It has truly been the honor of my lifetime to serve the city I love, where I started and raised a family for nearly 15 years, and to be your Health Commissioner, the city's doctor to 8.3 million fellow New Yorkers," Vasan said in a statement.

Vasan is the latest member of the Adams administration to leave amid multiple federal investigations into city government. He hasn't been linked to any of those investigations and insists that he's stepping aside for family reasons.

"My wife and three young children have served alongside me, bearing the brunt of my absence and shouldering so much," Vasan said.
