Anjanette Watts Walsh DDS’19 is one of the primary dental care providers to families in native communities in rural Alaska. She lives and practices dentistry in Utqiaġvik (formerly known as Barrow), one of the northernmost cities in the U.S., a city that experiences 24 hours of darkness from November to January. With four years of experience in the village, she is one of the longest-serving providers in the area, where she will continue to serve until at least 2025. Originally from Salt Lake City, Anje moved to Alaska in 1994. She describes Alaska as desolate, cold, and unforgiving, but explains that she fell in love with it because of the people, the culture, and the dental need there. At the U, Anje was co-president of the Student Advisory Committee and student speaker at the School of Dentistry’s 2019 Commencement. She is a recipient of the 2019 Elizabeth Fuhriman Gardner Prize from the University of Utah Women in Health, Medicine and Science Program and the Office of Health Equity and Inclusion.
