Internal review details challenges in Monroe response to serious infection

An internal Monroe County Health Department review found that staff struggled at times to reach former Health Officer Dr. Sarah Ryterband and lacked clear backup authority for key medical decisions during the response to a potentially lethal bacterial infection. The review, released last week, was conducted after the department responded to a meningococcal disease case in May. The report identified gaps but also praised staff for working outside their normal duties and hours, collaborating smoothly with state health officials and quickly securing and dispensing medication to people identified at risk of infection. Meningococcal disease is a bacterial infection that can become deadly within hours, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The public health response to such an infection requires speed because medication given to prevent infection after exposure works only within a tight window. Ryterband quit Thursday, weeks after firing the department's former administrator, Lori Kelley. In complaints filed with state and federal authorities, Kelley accused Ryterband of sexual harassment and retaliation, alleging she was fired after reporting the behavior. Ryterband has described the allegations as baseless and bewildering. Ryterband's resignation and Kelley's firing came amid broader staffing shortages and accusations of internal strife at the department.
