The Defense Health Agency has appointed Capt. Edward Dieser as director of public health.
In a LinkedIn post published Wednesday, DHA said Dieser succeeded Rear Adm. Brandon Taylor as public sector chief and that his leadership and expertise will continue to advance the agency’s mission.
“In addition, Capt. Dieser is pending promotion to Read Admiral (Lower Half) in the coming months – a well-deserved recognition of his outstanding service and dedication,” DHA said in the post.
Dieser previously served as the chief engineer of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
In this role, he advised the Department of Health and Human Services on policy, staffing and professional affairs for engineers and architects serving in the Commissioned Corps. He also offered advice to the Office of the Surgeon General on the recruitment, training, retention, career management and readiness of the Corps.
Dieser’s career included time as an environmental manager within the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, deputy associate director for emergency management for the National Center for Environmental Health and medical service corps officer within the U.S. Army.
