Dr. Kenneth Freedberg was standing at his wife’s bedside in a Boston hospital’s intensive care unit when an unexpected visitor entered: Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
“We were there for no more than 45 minutes when Rochelle walks in,” said Freedberg, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.
“She didn’t work there,” he said, recalling his friend Walensky’s visit after his wife had suddenly taken ill 10 years ago. “She is always there for people she is committed to, and she is committed to a lot of people.”
As the newly-appointed director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Walensky’s list of commitments has grown exponentially, a task friends and family of the Newton, Massachusetts resident agree she is uniquely prepared to handle.
