Sharon Jackson

Founder | CEO

Sharon Jackson is a U.S. Army veteran, former Alaska State Representative, and public-service advocate whose career has brought together military service, small-business advocacy, constituent service, public policy, and healthcare reform.

Jackson served six years in the United States Army, an experience that helped shape her disciplined, service-centered approach to leadership. After military service, she spent many years working in office equipment repair before becoming increasingly involved in advocacy and public policy. Her work included supporting small-business issues through the National Federation of Independent Business and later serving as a constituent and veterans liaison for U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan.

A major stroke changed the direction of Jackson's life and ultimately deepened her interest in integrative and regenerative medicine. Her recovery journey exposed her to therapies outside the conventional approaches she had previously known, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The experience became a catalyst for a broader mission: helping more people understand and gain responsible access to healthcare approaches that may complement conventional care.

Jackson went on to serve in the Alaska House of Representatives, bringing her background in constituent service, veteran advocacy, business issues, and personal recovery into the legislative arena. Her experience working inside government gave her a practical understanding of how evidence, policy, public communication, and coalition-building can shape the way new healthcare ideas are evaluated.

Jackson's leadership philosophy is rooted in resilience, service, and the belief that better healthcare requires collaboration rather than a choice between competing systems of care.

As a Director of the Integrative Medicine Chamber of Commerce, Jackson brings that perspective to IMCC's work of connecting practitioners, organizations, researchers, innovators, and policy stakeholders. She has emphasized the importance of presenting integrative healthcare through credible research, white papers, data, and professional standards so that policymakers and the public can evaluate emerging approaches on evidence rather than assumptions.

Her vision is not to discard conventional medicine, but to help build a more collaborative healthcare ecosystem in which conventional, integrative, regenerative, and preventive approaches can be understood in context and used responsibly. She is particularly interested in proactive wellness, brain health, recovery, and the potential for better-informed healthcare choices to improve individual vitality and community well-being.

Across military service, private-sector work, public advocacy, and elected office, Jackson's career has centered on helping people navigate complex systems. At IMCC, she continues that work by supporting a national professional platform designed to strengthen collaboration, increase responsible awareness, and help integrative healthcare earn a clearer voice in the broader American healthcare conversation.
