“We wish Dr. Eisenstein well upon the conclusion of his 11 years of service to the residents of Nassau County,” Nassau County Legislature Minority Leader Kevan M. Abrahams (D - Freeport) said. “His tenure notably spanned three administrations and the response to an array of public health crises - none larger than the COVID-19 pandemic - and we greatly appreciated his dedication and guidance during such trying times.
“We look forward to carefully reviewing the qualifications of the next person who is chosen to lead the Department of Health. Whomever that is, we implore the Blakeman administration to let them do their job without interference.
