Detroit City Wire

City of Detroit issued the following announcement on May 15.

Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan announced today the appointment of one of the city’s most tenured and respected public servants and health administrators, Conrad Mallett, as Deputy Mayor. Mallett has spent the past 20 years as a top administrator at the Detroit Medical Center, much of that time serving as president of one of Michigan’s largest hospitals, Sinai-Grace. Prior to that, Mallett spent eight years as a member of the Michigan Supreme Court, his last two years as its Chief Justice.

In his role as Deputy Mayor, Mallett will lead the City’s long-term response to the Coronavirus crisis, including the safe reopening of the city and preparing for a potential spike in COVID-19 cases this winter. Mallett’s portfolio will reflect his breadth of professional and community experience, and will include the following areas of City government:

• Public Health
• State and Federal Government Affairs
• Community Affairs
• Civil Rights, Inclusion and Opportunity Department

“COVID-19 is going to be a threat to the health of our residents and to the health of Detroit’s economy for at least the next year,” said Mayor Duggan. “Conrad Mallett brings us the senior leader we have been looking for with a deep health care background. We are very fortunate to convince him to return to public service.”
