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.”

Jemison holds a doctorate in healthcare administration from Virginia University of Lynchburg. He completed his undergrad and MBA studies at Louisiana State University. He previously served as Chief Administrative Officer for Resurrection Health and Missions in Montgomery, Alabama. Jemison is credited with organizational enhancements to better engage and serve a population with similar health outcomes and demographics as those of Southeast Alaska.
“I am thrilled to join the JAMHI team,” says Jemison. “I welcome the opportunity to listen, learn, and serve the people of the greater Juneau community.”
JAMHI Health & Wellness is the product of a 2018 merger of Juneau Alliance for Mental Health, Inc. and the Juneau chapter of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence. The nonprofit provides community housing and support, substance use prevention and treatment services, integrated mental healthcare, and primary care and wellness services to nearly 1,500 adults, children, and families in Juneau and across Alaska.
