Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2023

June 8, 2023

When I took office, our Nation was facing a once-in-a generation pandemic, hit with a virus that changed everything. Thanks to my administration's whole-of-Government approach, we now have the tools to manage COVIDâ19, and the virus no longer controls our daily lives.

For the last year, I have relied on Dr. Ashish Jha to help me do just that as the White House COVIDâ19 Response Coordinator. As one of the leading public health experts in America, he has effectively translated and communicated complex scientific challenges into concrete actions that helped save and improve the lives of millions of Americans.

I extend my deepest thanks to Ashish and his family. We are a stronger and healthier nation because of his contributions to public service.
