Ron Nagel DDS, MPH

Dr. Nagle received his dental degree from Emory University in 1987. He began working for the US Public Health Services later that year.  He worked with dental nurses in the Western Pacific region, which led to his interest in bringing this type of mid-level dental provider to Alaska to help with the severe shortages of dentists and to increase access in rural Alaska. He retired from the US Public Health Service and his role as the Dental Health Aide Program Director in 2010, but continues to teach in the Program.
