Dec 14, 2020 at 12:00 am by Staff


Metro Health Director Michael Caldwell, MD, tendered his resignation from his post on Thursday after a short tenure marked by pandemic and personnel issues. Caldwell got off to a rocky start with staff and the community and never recovered during his stint as health director. His resignation came following a report that detailed allegations of discrimination, particularly gender and pregnancy discrimination. Although his resignation is effective immediately, he will be available in an advisory capacity through the end of the month. Earlier in the day on Thursday, several Metro Council members had called for Caldwell to resign or be dismissed.
