Dear Colleagues:
I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Marsha Henderson to the position of Assistant Commissioner for Women's Health (Director of the Office of Women's Health), which became effective October 9, 2011. During her time as Acting Director of the Office of Women's Health, Marsha established a new strategic direction for the Office, provided leadership for the women's health research and outreach programs, supported publication of important peer-reviewed research, and expanded consumer outreach through social media, video, and print. Marsha is widely recognized--and appreciated--for her vision, leadership, and many contributions to the Agency.
Marsha previously served as the Deputy Director of the Office of Women's Health, where she led the Outreach Program for the past 14 years. Throughout her tenure at FDA, Marsha has developed numerous award-winning initiatives, including the "Take Time To Care" national outreach program.
Marsha holds a graduate degree in Planning and Public Policy with a concentration in hospital administration from Rutgers University. During her 25-year government career, Marsha has focused on addressing the needs of consumers, particularly the underserved--including homeless people, substance abusers, migrants, and individuals with HIV, mental illness, or other chronic illnesses.
Marsha is very well-suited to lead the Office of Women’s Health, and I look forward to her serving its director. Please join me in congratulating Marsha on her permanent appointment as the Director of the Office of Women’s Health.
Sincerely,
Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D.
Commissioner of Food and Drugs
