“It is a true honor to return as the new director for the VA Maine Healthcare System, an organization with a long-standing history of providing high quality services to the veterans of Maine,” Davis said in a prepared statement. “I look forward to rejoining this exemplary team and furthering our mission of improving the health and well-being of the Veterans we are privileged to serve.”
