Board Member Feature: Seth Deister

Seth Deister first joined NEOAHEC as a partner supporting our MedQuest camp in The Dalles. Since then, he’s become a valued board member and serves on our policy committee, where his expertise in human resources has been especially helpful.

At MedQuest’s 30th anniversary celebration, Seth shared, “Moving to The Dalles from Seattle has been a big adjustment for me. One thing I'm still getting used to is how friendly and how willing to help others (even strangers) everyone is. I loved hosting MedQuest at @onecommunitygorge because it was a way to connect our staff with future healthcare workers.”

Thank you, Seth, for your commitment to rural healthcare—both through MedQuest and your work at OCH!
