Hailing from Tidewater Virginia and growing up next to the family farm, Ragan first cultivated her enterprising spirit during her youth. Professionally, Hart is no stranger to innovation, collaboration, and execution within the healthcare entrepreneurial ecosystem. She joined MultiCare Capital Partners (MCP) in 2022. MCP is the innovation and strategic investment arm of MultiCare, a 12-hospital community-based regional health system, headquartered in Tacoma, Washington. As the conduit between MultiCare and a larger entrepreneurial ecosystem, MCP exists to fulfill MultiCare’s mission of partnering for healing and a healthy future.
Ragan previously co-founded MDisrupt, an enablement platform for digital health and healthtech companies, and prior to that role co-led venture creation efforts for F-Prime Capital Partners focused on health data sciences. She enjoys learning from technology frameworks that enable deeper empathy among each of us and amplify our individual and collective strengths in service to higher quality clinical care and community building. Hart earned her BS from Auburn University, her MS (genetic epidemiology) and PhD (public health genetics, concentration applied health economics) from the University of Washington, and conducted her postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University (biomedical data science). Ragan is keenly interested in digital connectivity as a positive force multiplier for improving population health and data systems, educational wellbeing, and regional economic prosperity bolstering value nodes spanning the Southeast to the Pacific Northwest.
