Bill Priest, hospital chief executive of Plains Regional Medical Center in Clovis, N.M., is no longer with Albuquerque, N.M.-based Presbyterian Healthcare Services.
“Bill helped our teams navigate the post-pandemic transition, and we are grateful for his three years of service to PRMC and our community,” Todd Oberheu, vice president of operations, regional delivery system and hospital chief executive of Lincoln County Medical Center in Ruidoso, N.M., said in a Sept. 10 statement shared with Becker’s.
