ABOUT ME
John R Reeves III, MHA is the President and founder of Indigenous Healthcare Advancements located in Henderson, Nevada. John has been in healthcare management for twenty-three years and he has a passion for improving healthcare inequity, access, and delivery within Indian Country. Seventeen years of John’s career have been spent serving indigenous healthcare clinics, hospitals, and programs.
John splits his time between Nevada and Honolulu, Hawai’i where he still serves the State of Hawai’i in support of their state-owned Kaua’i based critical access and long-term care hospitals and its integrated network of multispecialty and outpatient urgent care clinics. John has been supporting Hawai’i since 2017 when he created the provider compensation and contracting program that as of the writing of this is still being utilized. Today, he still remotely supports the operational and reporting metrics that support the compensation program.
John holds a Master of Healthcare Administration from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as well as a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Management from National American University in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Professionally, John has directly managed Tribal Health programs in various states and has founded and grown multiple startup companies throughout his career. Starting with Tribal Healthcare Consultants in 2016, which provided healthcare consulting in Indian Country, and in 2020 that business grew and rebranded as Indigenous Healthcare Advancements consisting of multiple services lines from healthcare consulting, to health program planning, healthcare expansion support, and many other healthcare related services.
John has long been a champion of improving access, operational understanding, prosperity, and equity in healthcare delivery within rural communities. In 2024, John was the catalyst in advocating for the largest monetary Tribal set-aside the state of Oregon has ever seen (30%) that will continue to support the state’s nine federally recognized Tribes and its urban Indian health program through 2038. Also in 2024, John and his team were successful in getting a multi-faceted technology platform aimed at positively impacting Tribal Social Determinants of Health both inside and outside of a Tribal clinic’s “four-walls”, approved and funded by a Tribe’s Indirect Cost Proposal. That accomplishment alone will have a positive ripple effect opening the same door now for all Tribes in the United States. John brings with him a network of resources and relationships that have time and again positively impacted Indigenous communities.
John is married to Pui Reeves, who is currently serving as the CEO of Indigenous Healthcare Advancements, and together they have two children Jayden (22) who lives in Sacramento, California, and Janessa (20) who lives in Newport, Oregon.
