We conclude that the plaintiff was not required to
          exhaust administrative remedies prior to filing her retal-
          iatory discharge action arising out of the termination of
          her employment following her health district complaint.
          First, the plaintiff’s stated concern in her health district
          complaint was public health. Cf. Su v. Kwiat Eye &
          Laser Surgery, PLLC, Docket No. 1:22-cv-00264 (AMN/
          DJS), 2024 WL 3665768, *4 (N.D.N.Y. August 6, 2024)
          (rejecting attempt to frame complaint as concerning
          patient well-being where plaintiff’s specific concern
          about patients’ health was that they would spread their
          illness in workplace to her or other employees). With
          that focus, the plaintiff understandably filed her com-
          plaint with the health district rather than with OSHA.
