On August 18, 2021, Governor Eric J. Holcomb established by executive order the Governor's Public Health Review Commission to study Indiana's public health system. The Governor’s Public Health Commission was co-chaired by former state Sen. Luke Kenley, who has spent decades managing complex issues and budgets for the state, and Dr. Judy Monroe, who served as Indiana’s state health commissioner from 2005 to 2010. Former State Health Commissioner Dr. Kris Box was appointed the Commission’s secretary. Congresswoman Susan Brooks, who formerly represented the Fifth Congressional District, served as a non-voting citizen advisor and brought a wealth of federal experience in preparedness, the public health workforce, and more.
