Hanna, who was appointed Medicaid Director in January 2024 after serving as the department’s deputy director, has led the agency through a period of significant federal policy shifts and financial challenges for health and food assistance programs.

In a message to colleagues shared publicly, Hanna expressed gratitude for the work of the Medicaid team and described his departure as an opportunity to reflect on public service and stewardship.

The Department of Health Services has not yet announced Hanna’s successor.
