Welcome AMM Founder Sean Harrison as Alliance’s New Executive Director
February 2009
After co-founding Alliance Medical Ministry and serving as an active member of the Board of Directors, including as chair from 2000-2005 and 2007-2009, Sean Harrison was appointed Executive Director this past February. Sean has a diverse background with over 15 years of management experience in entrepreneurial start-ups and Fortune 500 organizations.
Sean’s passion for health care and the working uninsured began nearly 10 years ago when he and three members from Cary First United Methodist Church envisioned a ministry to fill the health care gap faced by the working uninsured. Sean, along with Dr. Charles Mann, Jack Stone and David Wilson, worked earnestly with many volunteers and early staff, including Dr. Susan Weaver, to make their dream a reality.
Sean graduated with a BS in Computer Science from the University of Maryland and relocated to Raleigh with IBM. After earning his MBA from Duke, Sean founded and was CEO of Netstation, which was acquired by Nortel Networks. Later he started WindWire, a wireless software & service company, acquired in 2003. In 2004-2005 Sean piloted a prepaid low cost health benefit program for uninsured workers. Prior to his appointment at Alliance, he was COO of Brightdoor, a real estate software & services company.
Sean and his wife Karen have 3 children ages 6-12. They are all active members of Cary First United Methodist Church.
Healthcare hits a high note! Band Together NC, a Triangle-based organization whose mission is to raise funds and awareness for select charities through events that showcase and support musical talent, has selected Alliance Medical Ministry as its 2011 charity recipient.
Power Up The Purple Pod
In Alliance's primary care clinic, four pods were established and set up with all of the medical equipment needed to see patients. Currently three of the four pods run on a daily basis. In order become fully operational, funding is needed to “power up the purple pod” with clinical staff utilizing the existing space.
By being the beneficiary of Band Together in 2011, Alliance Medical Ministry will increase its capacity by adding a physician and nurse and will increase its care to our community. Currently it can take up to three months for new patients to obtain an appointment with one of our physicians. An increase in staff will decrease the wait time for new patients to establish care. It will also increase the patient base by 1,000 new clients. This will enable Alliance to increase patient visits each year by 2,500.
By "powering up the purple pod," there will be fewer unnecessary visits to local emergency rooms and greater access to care in Wake County.
Get involved today by supporting Band Together and help to "power up the purple pod!" Contact Mendi Nieters at 919-250-9254 or mnieters@alliancemedicalministry.org for more information on volunteering, sponsoring and event details.
