Allison Spangler

Allison Spangler began her career in long term care as a Certified Nursing Assistant while in high school. She fell in love with the elderly population and enjoyed her four years in direct care at a local Utah nursing home. She quickly realized skilled nursing was the route she wanted to take and began pursuing education to return to the field as an Administrator. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in International Management and a Masters of Business Administration in Healthcare Management.

Allison went on to be an Administrator of a Skilled Nursing Facility in Utah where she was able to follow her passion of long term care and work towards quality care for the residents she served.  In 2015, Allison made the move to the Utah Health Care Association (UHCA) overseeing membership and education. After 6 years, Allison was hired to be the President and CEO of UHCA where she finds pride  in making a global impact on nursing homes and long term care providers in the state. In addition, over the last 3 years, she has been successful in securing historical Medicaid rate increases. 

Allison lives in Bountiful with her husband, 2 daughters and French Bulldog.
