Board Spotlight: Garret Spargo
healthEconnect Alaska’s reach across the state is strengthened by our Board of Directors, whose leadership and connection to Alaska’s health care community help guide our work.
Garret Spargo serves as Board President and Representative of Alaska Tribal Health Organizations and has served on the board for one year.
Garret is the Director of Enterprise Architecture at Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, bringing a strong background in improving access to care for patients across Alaska.
Throughout his career, Garret has focused on expanding access to care. “To me, healthEconnect Alaska and our Health Information Exchange (HIE) lets me bring my professional background into a new HIE context while representing the rural and tribal perspective that is so important to me.”
“I believe care improves when our medical professionals have access to a more holistic view of their patients' health data. This is especially true for our rural and tribal populations who may be jumping between multiple health systems to access primary care at home and specialty care in our urban centers.”
Like many Alaskans, his connection to place runs deep. “My heart is still in the Aleutians, where I spent the first half of my childhood. Every time I step off a plane in one of those communities it instantly feels like home - the smells, the sounds, and yes, even the sideways rain.”
We’re grateful for Garret’s leadership and the perspective he brings to supporting connected care across Alaska, as well as the guidance our board provides in helping shape the direction of healthEconnect Alaska.
