Oklahoma State Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Lance Frye has resigned.
Frye took on the role in May 2020, during the height of the pandemic response.
“It has been an honor to serve Oklahoma and advance public health for all Oklahomans,” Lance Frye, M.D. said. “I admire the dedication, resilience and tenacity of the OSDH team. They have worked tirelessly over the last two years to ensure Oklahomans had access to not only COVID-19 testing, vaccinations and critical information, but to other life-saving services.”
Deputy Commissioner Keith Reed has stepped in as Interim Commissioner while the search begins for a new leader.
