Town Hires New Health Director

By |

The town this week hired a longtime municipal professional in Fairfield County as New Canaan’s health director. Amy Lehaney has worked since 2022 as Monroe’s health director, and had worked for Bridgeport, Stamford, Fairfield and Redding before that, according to her resume. “We are very lucky to have had her apply and I think she’ll be a great asset to the town,” New Canaan Human Resources Director Cheryl Pickering Jones told members of the Board of Selectmen at their regular meeting, held Tuesday at Town Hall and via videoconference. First Selectman Dionna Carlson and Selectman Steve Karl voted 2-0 in favor of the hire. Selectman Amy Murphy Carroll was absent.
