Isaac B. Weisfuse, MD, MPH is Deputy Commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Office of Emergency Preparedness and Response, which helps NYC prepare and respond to the health aspect of emergencies. He trained in Internal Medicine, and served as an Epidemic Intelligence Service Officer at the Centers for Disease Control. He joined the department in 1987 as a medical epidemiologist, working on HIV/AIDS issues. During his tenure he has been in charge of, or supervised a wide variety of programs: Sexually Transmitted Diseases, HIV, TB, Communicable Diseases, Lead Poisoning Prevention, Vital Statistics, Public Health Laboratories, Emergency Management, and Immunization. Dr. Weisfuse has twice received awards from DOHMH for his work: the public health achievement award for work on sexually transmitted diseases and the Public Health award for excellence, for his role in the 9/11 response. He taught infectious disease epidemiology at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health for 10 years, authored numerous articles and book chapters, and mentored seven CDC preventive medicine residents. He served as incident commander for all emergency activations since 2000 including 9/11, the 2003 blackout, anthrax, the Republican National Convention and the influenza pandemic, as well as a liaison to the National Broadcasting Company during the 2001 anthrax attack. He was asked by CDC to lead their H1N1 vaccine task force, which he did from mid-December 2009 until April, 2010. Current activities include planning for explosive emergencies, creating novel systems of medical countermeasure distribution, and developing a health resilience framework for the City of New York.
