Mayor Mike Duggan announced the appointment of 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.
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.
“This is a pivotal time in our city’s history, and I’m honored that the Mayor has asked me to join the great leadership team he has built,” Mallett said.
