ALBANY - The director of New York s nationally recognized Wadsworth Laboratory retired last September amid the COVID pandemic. Now the deputy director is also set to leave after 28 years at the lab, another major loss to the beleaguered state Department of Health.
The loss of Jill Taylor and the pending departure of Victoria Derbyshire, who recently signaled her intent to retire from the Albany-based lab, are among at least a dozen top health officials in New York who have either quit, retired or were reassigned in recent months, according to sources and public records.
The top doctors and executives have left amid what has been a bruising year for the agency at the forefront of the coronavirus pandemic, which has led to even longer hours and higher stress particularly among the department s higher ranks.
