The Alberta government is searching for a new chief medical officer of health following the expiration of the current interim official’s contract earlier this week.

The province confirmed that Dr. Mark Joffe’s contract as chief medical officer of health expired on April 14, and said it is looking for a permanent replacement, with an interim appointment expected to be announced soon.
