Escott sheds Travis County health authority role to become Austin's chief medical officer full time
Interim Austin-Travis County Health Authority Dr. Mark Escott is moving on from his role as the county's top doc and is set to work full time as the chief medical officer for the city of Austin, according to a letter addressed to Mayor Steve Adler.
The letter, which is also addressed to Austin and Travis County elected officials, states that Escott will end his interim role as county health authority so that he "can fully engage in my new role as the chief medical officer."
