HHS IT leadership experiences additional shakeup

"The Department of Health and Human Services has updated its IT leadership directory to include two new acting officials, as well as denote that another executive is holding his position in an acting capacity. The changes mean that six of the eight top officials in the department's Office of the Chief Information Officer are now holding at least one of their assigned roles in an acting capacity."

"Clark Minor, a longtime Palantir employee, was named the department's CIO last May. In addition to this role, HHS' IT leadership directory also lists him as the acting CAIO. Like many federal agencies, HHS has experienced a major staffing shakeup during the second Trump administration. Several former HHS officials told Nextgov/FCW last April that all of OCIO's senior executive service employees were reassigned to the Indian Health Service and that roughly half of the office's employees were laid off."
