SPOKANE â Dr. Bob Lutz is not done with public health yet.
A month after the Spokane Regional Health District Boardâs controversial decision to fire him from the job as county health officer, he has accepted a new position at the Washington Department of Health.
Lutz will be joining the departmentâs COVID-19 response team, a spokeswoman told the Spokesman-Review. He accepted the role earlier this week.
âDr. Lutzâs experience as a local health officer and his clinical expertise will bring great value to our stateâs response efforts,â a statement from DOH says.
No further details were available about Lutzâ new role from the department Thursday.
