DSHS Secretary Announced
In case you missed it, on Thursday, Aug. 14, Gov. Bob Ferguson announced his appointment of Angela Ramirez as Washington’s new secretary of the Department of Social and Health Services, effective Sept. 22. Ramirez recently served as chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through Jan. 20. Since January, she has advised on several projects.
Ramirez’s experience spans more than two decades across local, state and federal government. In her recent role at HHS, she coordinated one of the largest federal departments with over 90,000 employees and a $1.7 trillion budget — the largest of any federal agency. Ramirez led department-wide initiatives, advised the secretary and senior officials, and steered policy and personnel strategies on issues ranging from reproductive health to behavioral health and workforce development.
