Sander joins Family Health Care’s executive team
BALDWIN, Michigan – Travis Sander has joined Family Health Care as its Chief Information Officer.
Sander has spent the past 15 years at Heritage Broadcasting in Cadillac, where he worked as a systems analyst and network administrator before being promoted to Information Technology Manager in 2019.
“His extensive experience in information technology will benefit our patients and the entire organization,” said Julie Tatko, CEO of Family Health Care. “While much of the IT department’s work is behind the scenes, it improves clinical workflows, reduces errors, and protects patients’ privacy, all of which improves quality of care and the overall healthcare experience.”
Sander will join the health center’s executive team, which oversees six primary clinics, five school-based clinics, and a standalone optical center in Lake, Newaygo, Mecosta, Missaukee, Osceola, and Wexford counties. He will provide strategic leadership for IT systems, oversee IT staff, implement and monitor security policies to safeguard Protected Health Information, ensure cyber security, and serve as the HIPAA privacy officer.
“Family Health Care has a strong reputation for providing compassionate, community-focused care,” Sander said. “I’m looking forward to contributing to an organization that values both innovation and connection, and where I can make a meaningful impact supporting patients and staff.”
Sander is replacing Tina McConnell, who will retire at the end of June after serving the past five years as Family Health Care’s Chief Information, Privacy, and Security Officer.
