UAII is excited to announce John R. Reeves III as our new CEO! John brings two decades of experience in transforming healthcare organizations and empowering communities, with a deep focus and understanding of Native communities. His visionary leadership and passion for service have already had a lasting impact on healthcare in Indian Country, making him the ideal candidate to lead UAII with integrity, innovation and a profound commitment to our communities.
Prior to this role, John founded Indigenous Healthcare Advancements, a nonprofit that creates and expands healthcare clinics in Indian Country. He also served for three years as Tribal Chief Operating Officer of Health for the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians.
John’s selection was the result of a nationwide search by our executive search firm Cowen Partners led by our Executive Search Committee, which included board members, staff and community partners. In this important time for our organization and our community, we welcome his leadership and perspective as we continue to promote the health and well-being of Native people in our urban center.
John will begin his role on June 23. Please join us in extending him a warm welcome!
