Baltimore Health Commissioner Dr. Joshua M. Sharfstein has landed a gig in President-elect Barack Obama's transition team, according to The Baltimore Sun.
Sharfstein will be reviewing policies at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, an Obama spokesman told the Sun.
The Sun says Sharfstein declined comment, but that Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon said she was "keeping my fingers crossed as Dr. Sharfstein participates in something tremendous that's going to be beneficial to the city."
Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown (D-Prince George's County), Secretary of Maryland's Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation Tom Perez and Prince George's County state's Attorney Glenn Ivey are also involved in the transition efforts.
