Meet Tia Hale
Tia Hale moved back to Anchorage with her husband in 2017. Once home and perhaps making up for lost time, she quickly checked off both the opportunities she feared she missed: landing a position at ANMC in the labor and delivery wing and enrolling at UAA to become a family nurse practitioner. Additionally, desiring to be more connected to her mother’s tribe, Hale joined the Eklutna Community Clinic as chairman where she worked with tribal leaders to chart the future of their clinic while addressing the public health needs of their community. Her expertise and leadership have been especially helpful while navigating the COVID-19 pandemic and the constant challenges and new norms associated with it.
“I never considered myself a leader,” said Hale. “But [at UAA] we talked about our roles as nurse practitioners and how we have to take leadership roles to make change. It’s an honor to stand with a community that provides so much support to the state and is willing to invest in us.”
Tia Hale led the way for new graduates and spoke about her Graduate School experience at UAA as the Spring 2022 graduate student speaker Tia Hale. We are so proud of Tia and our Graduate School students!
