Sonoma County Health Services Director Tina Rivera has notified the Board of Supervisors and top administrators that she is resigning, effective August 23rd. Rivera has been the director of health services for more than 3 years, first as the interim leader and then formally appointed a little over two and a half years ago. Her tenure came with mismanagement allegations due to a county staffing shortage that impacted services, among other things like lack of oversight on county contracts. Rivera said the county will launch a nationwide search for the next Director of Health Services. Jennifer Solito, Assistant County Administrator, will take over for the department in the interim, after Rivera’s last day.
