Dr. Jewel Mullen, an energetic medical doctor who has managed to earn additional advanced degrees every decade as she preaches the gospel of prevention and wellness, is a model of health herself.
“My grandmother is going to be 104, so I’m hoping that I’m only sort of half-way through,” Mullen, 55, said of her lifetime ambitions as she takes on the job of director of public health in Connecticut, the latest appointment by Gov.-elect Dan Malloy.
Mullen has commuted to Boston for the past three years where she directed the Bureau of Community Health and Prevention for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
