Myranda Baumgartner serves as an Epidemiologist II in the Dallas County Health and Human Services Communicable Disease Division. Prior to her role at Dallas County, she worked as a disaster epidemiologist with the Texas Department of State Health Services as the Mortality Surveillance Team Lead and responded to the February 2021 winter storms in Texas, and the record breaking 2020 hurricane season.
