SANTA ANA (CNS)—In the midst of combating the CCP virus pandemic, Orange County officials on April 23 are looking for a new public health director amid the abrupt resignation of the department’s de facto chief.

David Souleles has been the county’s deputy agency director of public health services since the end of 2003. He had been filling in for Richard Sanchez, who stepped down as Orange County Health Care Agency director last month to take over as the head of CalOptima, which provides insurance for the county’s indigent.
