Apr 29, 2021
The North Dakota Department of Human Services has selected Minot native John Butgereit as regional director of the North Central Human Service Center in Minot.
Butgereit has been the statewide telehealth coordinator for the department’s eight regional human service centers, their three satellite clinics and the North Dakota State Hospital since March 2020. Early in the pandemic, he led an effort to rapidly expand access to tele-behavioral health services for vulnerable North Dakotans. He was also instrumental in implementing statewide centralized behavioral health screenings using telehealth to serve individuals who went to a human service center seeking walk-in behavioral health services.
