TOPEKA, Kan.
–
In nearly nine years as Kansas' top disease investigator, Dr. Gianfranco Pezzino devoted a growing amount of time to preparing for possible bioterrorist attacks and dealing with new and strange contagions.
His work as state epidemiologist also cost Pezzino a lot of time with his wife and three children, so he recently traded the job for one at the private, nonprofit Kansas Health Foundation. His departure left the state Department of Health and Environment without a medical doctor on its staff.
