PITTSFIELD â With coronavirus metrics improving and attention turned to large-scale vaccination efforts, the medical adviser of the cityâs Coronavirus Task Force has decided the time is right to step down â or âre-retire,â as he put it.
âI gave it a lot of thought and I weighed various priorities in my life and compared that with what the needs are in the Health Department,â said Dr. Alan Kulberg. âI felt the Health Department and the city was in good shape, and I felt it was a good time; that I could step back.â
Kulberg told The Eagle on Friday that he was resigning from that post immediately, but that he would remain in his role as chairman of the cityâs Board of Health.
