Jamie Ulmer
Come to meet and welcome Jamie to Southwest Florida and hear his thoughts on what is being done to improve health equity and quality of life for local residents.
Jamie is the new president and chief executive officer of Healthcare Network, a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) working to ensure primary healthcare is accessible to everyone in the community, regardless of job, income or insurance status. He was appointed to the role in July 2022 after a comprehensive nationwide search process.
He brings a wealth of healthcare leadership experience to the role, including more than 24 years of service in the military where he began his medical career. In 2013, Jamie honorably retired from active duty as Executive/Operations Officer in Fort Bragg, NC.
Upon his retirement from the military, Jamie worked for the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control as the state’s public health administrator for emergency medical services for children; served as public health administrator for the United States Army, Fort Jackson, SC; and was recruited to be chief operating officer of Rural Health Services, an FQHC in Aiken, SC.
Prior to joining Healthcare Network, he was CEO for Heart of Florida, where he increased the organization’s operating budget from $7.9 million to more than $30 million in four years.
In addition to his work at Healthcare Network, Jamie is an active member of the National Association of Community Health Centers and Florida Association of Community Health Centers, serving on several committees.
Jamie earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from South Carolina State University and a master’s degree in human resources development and health services management from Webster University in St. Louis.
