Creating these new roles reflects the lessons learned over the past year and a half at HHS and continues my efforts to help set a bold strategic vision for the department and empower our leaders to deliver on it,\u201d Azar said in a news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJudy was one of my first hires at HHS and has played a vital role in advancing the department\u2019s many priorities. This organizational update will create a unified planning and reporting structure across the department\u2019s leadership, providing new opportunities for coordinated goal-setting and execution as part of our strategic vision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stecker was appointed to lead HHS public affairs in March 2018, just over a month after Azar was sworn in to lead the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The promotion of Stecker, who will simultaneously serve in the new deputy chief of staff position and as assistant secretary for public affairs, comes in the wake of a leadership shuffle at the agency. Earlier this month, Azar announced that Brian Harrison will take over the chief of staff post from his deputy position after Peter Urbanowicz\u2019s departure from the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis strategic reorganization and expansion of HHS\u2019s leadership structure is the product of my experience working alongside Secretary Azar and will help HHS\u2019s leaders continue delivering the impressive results we have seen over the past year and a half,\u201d Harrison said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJudy has been an indispensable partner throughout our time at HHS, and I look forward to working closely with her and other HHS leaders to advance the secretary\u2019s priorities. I am honored by the opportunity Secretary Azar has given me to help set organizational direction, and this update of HHS\u2019s leadership structure reflects his eagerness to engage the department\u2019s best expertise in the most effective ways possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the agency news release, the new positions will ensure that the majority of the agency\u2019s operating and staff divisions have a senior adviser as a point of contact within the Office of the Secretary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new
