"I
am excited to welcome Kim Gillan to the team at HHS,” said Secretary Sebelius.
“Kim is a long-time public servant, who brings with her a wealth of experience
from her time in both the Montana House of Representatives and the Montana
Senate, as well as at Montana
State University. She has been actively
engaged on a number of health related policy initiatives and has worked at the
regional level to improve the health and well-being of all Montanans. Kim
will join our team of regional directors who work tirelessly with state, local
and tribal officials and external stakeholders on a wide range
of health and social service issues, particularly as we continue to implement
the Affordable Care Act. We look forward to adding Kim’s many strengths to the
HHS team.”
