Sonoma’s New Health Officer Has Big Pandemic Cred | San Francisco News

Sonoma County just tapped a pandemic hero for its new health officer: Dr. Mia Shim, the seasoned public health leader who helped Seattle and King County crush COVID-19 with record-high vaccines and low deaths. With over 20 years of experience as a doctor and public health exec, she’s now stepping into the role Wednesday, replacing interim Dr. Michael Stacey. Dr. Shim’s resume? Deep. She’s tackled health equity, infectious disease, mental health, and emergency prep — all while leading one of the nation’s largest public health systems. Now, she’ll steer Sonoma’s health policies, manage crises, and keep the county healthy — with the same grit that saved lives in the Emerald City.
