“We are very grateful for the opportunity to promote Dr. Jorgensen to lead our medical program at an exciting time of planned growth for all three of our clinical sites,” said Outer Cape Health Services CEO Patricia Nadle. “In addition to providing strong patient care, his clinical interests include building upon our patient centered medical home model, behavioral health integration, provider wellness, and community health access.
