Gov. Sarah Sanders made a second cabinet appointment this week when she named Renee Mallory as Secretary of Health on Tuesday (Aug. 8). Mallory has been serving as interim secretary since the Hutchinson administration appointed her in May 2022.

On Monday, Sanders named Jim Hudson as Secretary of the Department of Finance and Administration after Larry Walther was appointed Treasurer of State following the death of Mark Lowery.

“Renee Mallory has done an excellent job leading the Department of Health as the Interim Secretary – and today, I am proud to announce that she will serve as the permanent Secretary. Her 34 years of service at the Department of Health have prepared her to excel in this role. She is the highly qualified, experienced leader we need at the helm as we work together to improve and protect the health of all Arkansans,” Sanders said.
