Tracye Davis has been appointed to oversee the state’s health care system for veterans.

“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.

Davis has filled numerous positions in the Veterans Health Administration during the past 15 years, starting as a health administration fellow at VA

Pittsburgh HCS. Most recently, she served as deputy director of VA Portland HCS.
