PORTLAND (AP) — Two top managers at Maine’s Department of Health and Human Services are no longer employed there, but the agency is not saying why.
Department spokesman John Martins confirmed Wednesday that Guy Cousins, director of the Office of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services, and Therese Cahill-Low, director of the Office of Child and Family Services, no longer work for the department.
Martins, saying it is a personnel matter, said he could not provide further details.
Sheldon Wheeler has been selected to replace Cousins.
Deputy commissioner Ricker Hamilton said that with help from senior managers he will oversee Cahill- Low’s department until an acting director has been named.
