The Florida Department of Health in Monroe County (DOH-Monroe) recently appointed Taweh Beysolow as the new medical director.

Beysolow joined DOH-Monroe in November 2024. He will be responsible for medical oversight of all Monroe health department locations with direct client care one day per week, working closely with the DOH-Monroe APRN providers and registered nurses.

“We are very excited to have Dr. Beysolow join our team,” said Dr. Carla Fry, administrator and health officer for DOH-Monroe. “He has a wealth of experience. He is double board-certified in internal medicine and nephrology, and as a local provider, he is well known to the community.”

Beysolow graduated from Dartmouth Medical School, then completed an internal medicine internship at the University of Massachusetts in Worcester. Following the internship, he completed his residency in internal medicine at both the University of Massachusetts and Harlem Hospital Center in New York. Beysolow then remained at Harlem Hospital for three years to pursue a fellowship in nephrology.

He is a member of the American Society of Nephrology, the National Kidney Foundation, the International Society of Nephrology, the American College of Physicians and the Florida Medical Association.

Beysolow’s appointment comes after previous medical director Dr. Mark Whiteside’s retirement on Jan. 31. Whiteside has worked in public health for over 40 years and has served as medical director since 2008. He plans to stay with his family in Key West. 

“The true impact of Dr. Whiteside’s contributions to public health is immeasurable, as his efforts throughout his career have protected, improved and saved countless lives,’ Fry said.
