Alaska’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Anne Zink, Announces Resignation

Alaska’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Anne Zink, has announced her intention to resign from her position. Dr. Zink, who has been a public figurehead of Alaska’s COVID-19 response, plans to continue working in her role until early April.

The news of Dr. Zink’s resignation was made public last week by U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski during an address to lawmakers. Dr. Zink, an emergency room doctor, was appointed as chief medical officer in 2019, just months before the COVID-19 pandemic. She became a regular fixture alongside Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy at news conferences during the early stages of the pandemic, and the two became the public faces of the state’s response.

Dr. Zink earned praise for her steady approach and her ability to provide information in an understandable way. However, she also became a target for those critical of COVID-19 vaccines and other pandemic-related measures. She told the Anchorage Daily News that she wanted to avoid leaving too close to an election and that most previous chief medical officers have transitioned at non-election times to keep the position as apolitical as possible.

Governor Dunleavy was re-elected to a second term in 2022. Dr. Zink plans to spend time with her family this summer and likely pursue work in the field of health data. She also plans to continue working shifts at a Palmer hospital.

The resignation of Dr. Zink comes as Alaska faces a teacher shortage and a funding debate dominates the legislature. The state’s education system has been struggling to attract and retain teachers, leading to concerns about the quality of education and the impact on students. The funding debate has been a contentious issue, with lawmakers deadlocked over how to allocate resources.

Dr. Zink’s departure from her role as chief medical officer marks the end of an era in Alaska’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Her steady approach and ability to provide clear information were crucial in helping the state navigate the early stages of the crisis. As she moves on to new opportunities, the challenge for Alaska’s next chief medical officer will be to build on the foundation laid by Dr. Zink and continue to provide effective leadership in the face of ongoing public health challenges.
