Looking Forward to Working with You

I would like to thank the Board of Supervisors for entrusting me to serve as the next Chief Executive Officer of Contra Costa Health. I look forward to working with you.

My work is guided by a commitment to health equity, evidence-based care, and partnering with the communities we serve. This includes a background in public health, clinical medicine, policy and research. Most recently I served as Director of Health in San Francisco.

This is an important time for Contra Costa Health. While challenges lie ahead, I am confident we will continue to provide dignified, high-quality care and services for all Contra Costa residents, particularly the most vulnerable.

I thank Dr. Ori Tzvieli, the executive team, and all of you for your tireless work on behalf of our patients, clients and community. I am excited to listen, learn and work alongside you as we advance the mission of Contra Costa Health.

With gratitude and anticipation,

Grant Colfax, MD
Chief Executive Officer
Health Director, Contra Costa County
