San Francisco’s public health director, who played a crucial role in managing the city’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing fentanyl crisis, announced his resignation on Thursday. Dr. Grant Colfax, who has been at the helm of the Department of Public Health, expressed pride in the work accomplished during his tenure but indicated that it was time for him to pursue new opportunities.
