Sandy Garner – Chief HR Officer @ Neighborcare Health
Our Herd Freed Hartz executive search team was honored to partner with Neighborcare Health on a nationwide retained search to find their new Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO).
Neighborcare is one of the largest Federally Qualified Health Centers in the country, and the largest in Seattle, providing primary medical, dental and behavioral health care services for low-income and uninsured families and individuals, seniors on fixed incomes, immigrants, and people experiencing homelessness. Neighborcare treats ~60,000 patients annually across ~30 non-profit medical, dental and school-based clinics, located in neighborhoods where health disparities are the greatest. The passionate, dedicated care teams, who speak over 55 languages and dialects, are as diverse as the patients they serve, and no one is turned away due to insurance status or inability to pay.
No matter who you are, or where you come from, regardless of your insurance, income or immigration status, you are welcome at Neighborcare Health.
Neighborcare Health’s Mission: To provide comprehensive health care to families and individuals who have difficulty accessing care; respond with sensitivity to the needs of our culturally diverse patients; and advocate and work with others to improve the overall health status of the communities we serve.
“Sandy is known for her innovative and results-oriented approach, while navigating change in complex environments, skills that are invaluable in the ever-changing healthcare landscape,” said Neighborcare Health CEO Rashad A. Collins. “Her strategic leadership has proven successful in fostering employee engagement and aligning HR practices with organizational goals.
