Carson City Chamber of Commerce hosts meet and greet for new Carson Tahoe Health CEO
The Carson City Chamber of Commerce held a meet-and-greet reception for the new CEO of Carson Tahoe Health, Alan Garrett, at the Chamber Wednesday evening.
Carson Tahoe Health's Board of Directors appointed Garrett as the new CEO on April 1. Garrett took the place of Ed Epperson, the former CEO, who retired just before the new year.
Chamber members such as Mayor Bob Crowell, the Board of Supervisors, Fire Chief Sean Slamon, and many others came to the Chamber to welcome the new head.
"I'm very excited to be a part of Carson Tahoe Health," said Garrett. "So far I've been here a grand total of 60 days, and I'm still learning the who's who. I've met so many people already, and I haven't even been able to tour all of the locations and facilities for Carson Tahoe yet."
Garrett is in the middle of a crash-course lesson on Carson Tahoe Health, which has 23 current locations throughout Northern Nevada and California. Carson Tahoe Health first opened its doors in Carson City in 1949, which employed a grand total of three doctors, three nurses, an x-ray technologist, laboratory technologist, a cook and a janitor.
Now Carson Tahoe Health has grown to become a premiere care facility for the region, and in 2017, admitted 13,056 patients and provided care for over 300,000 outpatient visits, according to their annual report.
Garrett is new to the area having moved to the area from Southern California after securing the top position at Carson Tahoe Health, and has been in the position as well as living in the area for just over two months.
