Dr. Fusaro (Cascadia Daily photo, Dec 12 2024)
Dr. Aldo Fusaro is the county's new Medical Examiner. Last December 24th the service officially became a county "department" that reports directly to the county Executive. This is our first opportunity to learn about the new arrangement.
On December 12, 2024, Cascadia Daily reported: "Dr. Aldo Fusaro, the new Whatcom County Medical Examiner, has nearly 29 years of forensic pathology experience, and he is ready to take the helm of the newly minted county ME department. He says it will be the biggest challenge of his career." "Fusaro became interim ME in September following an independent investigation into the previous ME, Allison Hunt..."
It will be interesting to hear about the department's plans going forward. It was reported last year that the morgue would be renovated. We can learn a little about that and the office's day-to-day operations. How does the office interface with the Health Department and other vital services like the local police forces and the Prosecutor's office? Is the pace of investigations up or down compared to prior years? We expect this to be a very worthwhile meeting.
Club members' guests are always welcome - bring a friend, business associate, or neighbor. The doors will open officially at 11:30 am.
