Alan Manning is the Executive Vice President at Planetree, Inc., a mission based non-profit dedicated to pioneering methods for personalizing, humanizing, and demystifying the healthcare experience. Alan is also a former Sightlines employee and played a pivotal role in shaping the "all-in", hardworking culture that still exists in our company today.
Alan entered healthcare after his first born daughter, Katie, died at just 6 months old. Katie struggled through multiple open heart surgeries to address a congenital heart defect, and after her passing, Alan felt compelled to change careers. He wanted to support the amazing people who dedicate their lives to caring for the sick while also addressing the significant gaps that still exist in our healthcare systems. Alan has the unwanted calling of improving healthcare and has now dedicated his time and energy to ensuring that we provide excellent care to every patient, every time.
