There’s a new North Dakota State Health Officer in Bismarck. Governor Doug Burgum has appointed Dr. Nizar Wehbi (Nee-zar Wee-bee) to the post.
Wehbi currently serves as deputy director of the Center for Health Policy and assistant professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He will take over the duties from Dirk Wilke who has been the interim state health office since September.
