Aldona Zofia Wos (born 1955)[2] is a Polish-American physician, philanthropist, diplomat, and politician based in Greensboro, North Carolina. After starting her career as a physician of internal medicine, in 2002 President George W. Bush appointed her to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. Wos subsequently served as the United States Ambassador to the Republic of Estonia from 2004 until 2006, for which the Estonian government awarded her the Order of the Cross of Terra Mariana, 1st Class, by Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves.[4]

In 2012, North Carolina Governor-elect Pat McCrory appointed her Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services,[3] a role she held until August 2015. Despite criticism concerning computer system glitches and hiring controversies,[6] as secretary Wos was credited with implementing “the largest IT project in North Carolina’s history” and helping change the state Medicaid budget from a deficit into a $200 million cash surplus.[7]

An avid Republican Party fund-raiser,[5][8][9] she was North Carolina State Chair of Women for Senator Elizabeth Dole in 2001,[9] North Carolina Finance Co-Chair for Bush/Cheney, and has also supported bids by politicians such as Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, and Mitt Romney.[10] Wos is involved with a number of public and philanthropic institutions, and since the 1990s she has been active in "presenting and preserving information about Polish citizens during World War II."[11] A recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor,[5] Wos was awarded the Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland on behalf of President Lech Kaczynski[4] a year later.[12]

Early life and education

Aldona Zofia Wos was born in Warsaw, Poland[13] in 1955.[1] She is the daughter of Paul Zenon Wos,[9][14] a Flossenbürg concentration camp survivor,[11] and Wanda Wos, who survived being enslaved by Nazi Germany for child labor.[15] As a member of the Polish Home Army (AK),[9] her father took part in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944.[16] During The Holocaust her father and grandparents helped rescue Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto,[11][16] and her father was later awarded the Righteous Among the Nations medal recognized by Yad Vashem.[9] Wos' father and several other relatives survived the concentration camps of World War II.[17] After the Soviet Union took control of Poland, Wos remembers her family being subjected to state scrutiny. A staunch anti-Communist, her father was periodically taken into custody, with Wos recollecting that "I remember the knocking on the door, and it would be the police coming to pick up my father. We never knew where he was going, how long he would be gone, or if he would come back... The environment deprived all of us of our dignity and our rights."[17]

Wos was six years old[18] when she emigrated with her parents and brother to the United States.[17] Wos spent her childhood in Long Island, New York,[9][13] and speaks both fluent English and Polish.[9] As a young adult, she often interned at different hospitals during the summers.[17] Wos states that she wanted to be a diplomat when younger. However, assuming the aspiration was unrealistic due to her foreign-born status, she focused on medicine.[5] Wos earned a medical degree from Warsaw Medical Academy.[13] After graduation, she finished an internal medicine internship and residency in New York,[9] specializing in lung diseases[13] through a fellowship in pulmonary medicine.[9]

Medical career

Wos completed a residency in New York after finishing her education,[13] then went on to work in the city as a physician.[5] Educated in internal medicine, Wos has stated that she particularly prides herself on her work in the field of preventing the spread of and treating patients with HIV and AIDS.[19] The National Glaucoma Foundation named her a "Woman of Outstanding Achievement" in 1990.[9] She worked in private practices and in corporate medicine, taking on "attending physician duties, clinical care, teaching, consultation, and staff physician duties for both hospitals and private industry."[4][9] In 1993, she was one of the physicians immediately caring for survivors of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.[7] After years working in New York City,[5] in 1997 Wos moved to Greensboro, North Carolina when her husband's business relocated there.[20] She retired for a time from medicine to raise their young twins, though she continued to stay involved in various public activities and events.[5] She was an active member of the American College of Physicians, the American Women's Medical Association, the American College of Chest Physicians, the Medical Society of the State of New York, the North Carolina Medical Society, and the Greater Greensboro Society of Medicine.[9]

Business career

Ambassador to Estonia (2000s-2006)

In North Carolina she became an avid Republican Party fund-raiser.[5][8][9] She was appointed North Carolina State Chair of Women for Senator Elizabeth Dole in 2001,[9] and subsequently organized numerous fundraisers and events for Dole.[9] In 2002, President George W. Bush appointed her to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council[4] to finish the term of the late Stanislaus Blejwas.[14] She held the role until January 15, 2004,[11] when Bush reappointed her for a second term.[9][12] In 2003, she was named the North Carolina Finance Co-Chair for the 2004 Bush-Cheney presidential campaign,[9][14] helping raise around $200,000 for Bush’s 2004 re-election.[1]

It was announced on August 2, 2004 that Wos had been appointed the fifth[9] Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Estonia.[2] She was sworn in on August 13, 2004[13][19] by Secretary of State Colin Powell,[9] with her credentials presented to the President of Estonia Arnold Rüütel on September 2, 2004. During her tenure, she focused on several areas, including "Russian integration, HIV/AIDS prevention in Estonia, and the preservation of Estonian culture." She traveled frequently while in Estonia, visiting all fifteen Estonian counties, around 80 high schools, and various other institutions.[4]

In November 2006,[19] she helped arrange the state visit of President George W. Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley to Estonia, taking part in their official meeting with President Toomas Hendrik Ilves and Prime Minister of Estonia Andrus Ansip.[21] With her diplomatic post ending in December 2006,[13][19][22] the Estonian government awarded her with various honors for her tenure, including the Order of the Cross of Terra Mariana, 1st Class, by Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves, a Distinguished Service Cross by the Estonian Defense Forces,[4] and a Special Class Medal of the Police Service Badge from the Estonian National Police.[23] She officially left her post as ambassador on December 17, 2006.[4]

Temporary retirement (2007-2012)

After her tenure as ambassador, Wos retired to raise her two children.[17] She continued to be involved in philanthropy and public speaking, for example talking about her experience in post-World War II Poland on November 5, 2007 at the Joseph M. Bryan Lecture Series held by Elon Law.[17] Becoming a trustee[24] and board-member at The Institute of World Politics in 2007,[25] in 2008 she supported John McCain's presidential campaign.[26] She spoke at the Heritage Foundation on October 23, 2009 in a discussion titled "Past and Present: Estonia and U.S. Partnership."[24] She served as gala chair of the Institute of World Politics' 20th anniversary event in April 2010, helping organize the event.[5] In June 2011, she spoke at the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation’s Fourth Annual Commemoration Ceremony & Wreath Laying.[27] She also supported the presidential bid of Mitt Romney in 2012,[26] furthermore chairing the North Carolina Women for Rudy organization as part of Rudy Giuliani's campaign.[10]

Appointment to DHHS (2012-2013)

In December 2012, North Carolina Governor-elect Pat McCrory appointed her to his Cabinet as Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services,[3] which has 18,000 employees and a budget of around $18 billion.[28] With her position, Wos inherited a Medicaid budget crisis[29] stemming from the state legislature's 2011 approval of controversial budget cuts and reforms.[30] The issue had led to the resignation of her predecessor, Lanier Cansler, in early 2012.[31] Sworn in on January 4, 2013,[3] Wos declined her $128,000 salary and was instead paid a token $1.[32] When the 2012 performance audit for DHHS was released on January 31, 2013,[29] Wos publicly agreed on all points with the auditor, agreeing that DHHS had consistently exceeded administrative budgets due to lack of oversight and record keeping.[29]

When speaking to the state General Assembly in February 2013, Wos laid out her department priorities as "Medicaid and information technology."[33] After hiring the department's first chief information officer,[7] she subsequently oversaw the implementation of the NCTracks computer system, which was the first multi-payer Medicaid billing system[28] in the nation,[34] and which had been under development since 2004[35] and had run several hundred million dollars over budget. This was the largest IT project in North Carolina history.[7] Also, she oversaw the statewide implementation of NC Fast,[36] an integrated case management system that replaced the 19 legacy computer systems previously used to deliver social service benefits.[37] NC Fast had first undergone limited testing in May 2012.[38]

Department hires and backlog (2013-2014)

Wos lectured the press on dangers of overt government transparency in April 2013, arguing that constant progress updates could interfere in job efficiency and planning processes.[39] In September 2013, Wos attracted criticism for appointing several key positions in her department to employees perceived as under-qualified, and also for employee pay hikes. Wos argued that the higher wages were an effort to attract talent and avoid turnover, and that the hiring choices were "an integral part of our effort to deliver more efficient, effective services."[40] After expanding the DHHS audit team from 6 to around 30[15] in August,[41] Wos was questioned at a legislative hearing in October 2013 on her choices as secretary, including her stated plan to reform Medicaid in the state.[42]

In September 2013, state food banks reported that the counties working with NC Fast had developed a significant backlog, with North Carolina residents turning to the food banks as a last resort.[43] The backlog has reached about 24,000 cases by January 18.[44] Media criticism focused on DHHS and Accenture, the company contracted to build and manage the system in 2010.[43] In January 2014, DHHS was ordered by the federal government to resolve the backlog,[36][45] with county agencies and DHHS meeting the deadlines "by working nights and weekends, hiring temporary staff and diverting staff from other program areas." Wos argued the two-month rate which DHHS cut down on the backlog showed "that [NCFast] works and it works very well."[36]

Recent activities (2015-2016)

North Carolina's Medicaid program ended 2014 with over a $130 million surplus.[6][46] Despite the surplus, Wos stated that she was "disappointed" that the state dismissed her earlier proposal to reform Medicaid. She had also managed to "[convince] the legislature of the need to invest in the state’s medical examiner system," and had overseen the removal of the glitches from NCTTracks and NC Fast.[28] While her previous hiring choices involving no-bid contracts remained highly controversial,[6][47] other aspects of her tenure involved overseeing the opening of "24 rural health centers, 20 free clinics, and other facilities serving rural populations," and the expansion of telepsychiatry services to 66 hospitals in the state.[15]

Wos resigned on August 15, 2015, stating in a press conference that it was "simply time to go home" and that she would take time to spend with her ailing mother and family[6] in Greensboro.[28] During the press conference, governor McCrory awarded her with the Order of the Longleaf Pine for service to the state of North Carolina. Asked by the press if she would "change any of the decisions that she made over a sometimes rocky tenure," she replied "not at all." McCrory defended her tenure, stating "she took all the bullets, and didn't transfer the blame to anybody. What she did was solve the problems."[6]

After her resignation, she voiced plans to devote her time to the boards of the Institute of World Politics and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.[28] Wos was replaced by Rick Brajer, a former medical technology executive.[6] After being sworn in, Brajer asserted to the press that Aldona's resignation had been unrelated to the ongoing federal investigation into DHHS.[48] In November 2015, she co-hosted a discussion with Jack Matlock at Duke University on the topic "Putin vs. Obama: Are we in a Second Cold War?"[49]

Philanthropy and boards

Throughout her career, Wos has been involved with a number of public and philanthropic institutions. Since the 1990s she has been active in "presenting and preserving information about Polish citizens during World War II,"[11] and on September 11, 2001, she sponsored and organized the "largest educational program in North Carolina on the Polish experience in World War II." Historians, authors, Holocaust survivors, rescuers, and members of the Home Army took part, with around 2,000 people attending despite the September 11 terror attacks.[9]

As of 2004, Wos was on the board of United Way of Greater Greensboro, and was also a member of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society.[14] Other boards she served on at the time included the National Conference for Community and Justice, Piedmont Family Services (Family Services of the Piedmont) and Hospice & Palliative Care of Greensboro.[4][14] She has also been on the boards of the Sterling South Bank & Trust Company[4] and the University of North Carolina board of governors.[50] She remains a trustee at The Institute of World Politics,[51] the Council of American Ambassadors,[52] and the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, where she is also vice chairman.[53]

Through the Louis DeJoy and Aldona Z. Wos Family Foundation, she continues to support various fundraising events.[54] Among various educational initiatives, Wos and her husband have sponsored scholarships for Estonian and American students to attend The Fund for American Studies programs in Prague and the United States.[55] They are major benefactors for St. Pius X Catholic Church in Greensboro,[56] and are funding The DeJoy Primary Education Center which is expected to be complete in August 2016.[57] Wos and her husband are also financial supporters of Duke University,[58] Elon University,[59] Family Service of Greensboro,[60] Hospice and Palliative Care of Greensboro,[61] ICivics,[62] The Institute of World Politics,[63] United Way of Greater Greensboro[64] and United Way of High Point,[65] Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation,[27][28] Wyndham Championship,[66] and the Fund for American Studies.[67]

Awards and recognition

Wos has been recognized with a number of state and industry awards throughout her career. In 1990, she was presented with the Singular Sensations Award for Woman of Outstanding Achievement by the National Glaucoma Foundation.[9] A recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor,[5] in June 2006 she received an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from the Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C.[4] Also in 2006, she was awarded with the Order of the Cross of Terra Mariana, 1st Class, by Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves. The Estonian Defense Forces awarded her a Distinguished Service Cross in 2006,[4] and the commissioner of the Estonian National Police awarded her a Special Class Medal of the Police Service Badge.[4][23][23] Wos was awarded the Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland[4] on March 19, 2007.[12] She was presented with the award by Elzbieta Jakubiak on behalf of President Lech Kaczynski,[4] with a ceremony presided over by Polish ambassador Janusz Reiter.[12] In May 2009, Greensboro College awarded her an Honorary Doctorate of Humanities.[50] She was named to the Order of the Longleaf Pine, an award for service to the state of North Carolina, in 2015.[6]

Personal life

Wos and her husband Louis DeJoy have two children,[13] twins born in 1995.[9] DeJoy is the former CEO of XPO Logistics Supply Chain and current presiden tof LDJ Global Strategies.[68] Wos and her family reside in Greensboro, North Carolina,[1] though as the former US Ambassador to Estonia, from 2004 to 2006 she resided in Tallinn, Estonia.[55]
