New Medicare Leadership
President Bush recently nominated Kerry N. Weems, a 24-year veteran of the Department of Health and Human Services, to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Mr. Weems now serves as deputy chief of staff to HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt. “He understands the large fiscal challenges facing Medicare and Medicaid and what it will take to strengthen and sustain those programs for the future,” Mr. Leavitt said in a statement. If confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Weems will fill the vacancy left by Dr. Mark B. McClellan, who resigned from CMS last year. Leslie V. Norwalk is the current acting CMS administrator.
