Sinai Chicago on the West and Southwest sides is looking to woo Dr. Ngozi Ezike, the director of the Illinois Department of Public Health who has helped shepherd the state through the COVID-19 pandemic, to become president and CEO.
The Sinai board of directors has been authorized to negotiate an offer with Ezike, WBEZ has learned. Ezike would replace Karen Teitelbaum, who is stepping down after steering Sinai since 2014.
