Rochelle Walensky is an American public health official based in Washington, D.C. She serves as the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

According to her profile on the Harvard T.H.

She is a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI) and the Association of American Physicians (AAP), and has served as a member of the United States Department of Health and Human Services Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents.[2]
