Congratulations to Frances E. Ashe-Goins RN, MPH, who was recently appointed the new acting director of the Office on Women’s Health (OWH). Since she joined OWH in 1995, Ms. Ashe-Goins has been responsible for many women’s issues, including HIV/AIDS, rape/sexual assault, lupus, minority women’s health and young women’s health. She is an expert on the relationship between HIV and domestic violence and a staunch advocate for women, children and families.
She succeeds Dr. Wanda Jones, who was appointed Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health.
We wish both well in their new assignments.
