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.

The hospital appointed Brian Dietz as interim hospital chief executive. Mr. Dietz brings more than 40 years of healthcare leadership experience to the role, Mr. Oberheu said.

Mr. Priest was appointed hospital chief executive in August 2023, according to his LinkedIn profile. Before that, he spent three years as president of Marshfield Medical Center-Eau Claire (Wis.).
