Juneau-based alliance for mental health JAMHI Health and Wellness chose Will Jemison as CEO. Jemison comes to Alaska from Arkansas, where he most recently served as chief of staff to the CEO of the new Alice L. Walton School of Medicine, which will soon matriculate its first graduates.
The JAMHI board chose Jemison from an extensive field of candidates in a year-long nationwide search. “Our Board of Directors has been exemplary in rising to the task of finding the finest possible leader for our amazing and dedicated staff; a leader to best serve our deserving current and future clients, and the community at large,” says Board President Joan Cahill. She welcomed Jemison to Juneau and praised his “warmth, vision, and genuine passion for public health.”
