Olivia Sloan

Vice President of Native Health Partnerships

Born and raised in Santa Fe, Olivia is a healthcare leader passionate about health equity and policy advocacy for Indigenous communities. As a Native (Dine and Tohono O’odham), she is deeply committed to serving Native communities. Her expertise in policy, clinical research, advocacy, and cultural understanding, makes her an invaluable asset, especially as we expand our service area to include all of New Mexico’s Pueblos and Tribal Nations.

Her father’s passing inspired her journey to becoming both a nurse and cancer researcher, leading to managerial roles at CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Cancer Center. There, she oversaw clinical trials and authored and secured a grant to implement a new Native Health Navigator program to support Native Americans with cancer diagnoses in navigating a non-Tribal healthcare system.

Throughout her career, she has collaborated with diverse organizations to address healthcare gaps, promote culturally sensitive care, and expand research initiatives, leading to improved healthcare access and outcomes for underserved populations.
