Santa Fe--The New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) on Wednesday announced the appointment of Mark Orgeron as Executive Director for Care Operations. Mr. Orgeron will supervise all NMDOH care facilities including nursing home care, physical rehabilitation, treatment for substance misuse, adolescent residential treatment centers, mental health treatment, and habilitation for intellectual and developmental disabilities.
