Congratulations to Marguerite Salazar, president and CEO of Valley-Wide Health Systems, Inc., for her appointment as U.S. Health and Human services (HHS) Regional Director!

CRHC is thrilled to learn that a rural Coloradan will be taking this position and continuing to advocate for underserved populations.  Marguerite is known for her her tireless energy and her dedication to providing quality, comprehensive healthcare to all communities, small and large.  Her leadership and experience in the San Luis Valley will be of great value as she takes on the new challenges of serving a much larger population as the HHS Regional Director.  We thank her for all she has done for Colorado already, and look forward to much more great work to come!
