HIV/AIDS Surveillance Reporting Contacts for Michigan
 

Staff Changes April 2009

Some surveillance responsibilities are shifting among staff.  Michael Kucab will be coordinating the implementation of the Hepatitis Body Art Legislation, and thus Dr. Kim Kirkey (who currently manages Hepatitis C Surveillance) will be the contact for out-state pediatric HIV surveillance in addition to adult HIV surveillance for Grand Traverse, Saginaw, Genesee and Shiawassee Counties.  Michael will be retaining the rest of his adult HIV surveillance sites.  Congratulations to Michael and welcome to Kim.

As we announced last quarter, our Section Manager Garry Goza retired late last year. Karen MacMaster has been hired to take this position and she starts in late May. Karen started her career with MDCH as a microbiologist with the Bureau of Laboratories. She also worked with Epi Lab Capacity and then with Bioterrorism Surveillance as a Section Manager. She then went to Office of Public Health Preparedness as a Section Manager and is currently a Departmental Manager with the Michigan State Police.  She has a Master of Public Administration - Healthcare and we look forward to her leadership in our Section.

We have a new Coordinator for our Medical Monitoring Project (MMP). After working for the program as an interviewer/abstractor we welcome Meosia Lee Turner in her new position of MMP Coordinator. You can contact her at turnerm@michigan.gov or 313 876 0072.
