NASVHILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, May 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ONNIX, a medical technology company focused on advancing solutions for vascular access and catheter care, today announced that former U.S. Senator Mark Begich has joined its Board of Directors.

Begich served as U.S. Senator from Alaska from 2009 to 2015 and previously served two terms as Mayor of Anchorage from 2003 to 2009. As the latest member of the Board of Directors for ONNIX, he brings with him senior federal and municipal leadership experience, along with deep expertise in economic development, infrastructure, public-private partnerships, and coalition-building across government, business, and community institutions. These perspectives will be important as ONNIX advances through clinical development, regulatory review, and commercial launch.

ONNIX is developing technologies intended to improve catheter care and clinical workflows, including catheter lock and flush technology designed to support safer vascular access care. The company’s mission centers on practical, science-driven innovation that supports patient safety, workflow efficiency, and stronger clinical outcomes.

“Mark brings an exceptional combination of leadership experience, strategic insight, and real-world understanding of how complex systems move,” said Jared Navarre, CEO of ONNIX. “He understands how policy, business, public institutions, and real-world outcomes intersect, and how to build alignment across stakeholders. We’re excited to have him on the Board as ONNIX continues advancing its work in vascular access and catheter care.”

Begich said he is joining ONNIX at a pivotal stage as the company advances its core catheter-care technology in a complex healthcare environment where adoption depends not only on clinical performance but also on workflow fit, provider economics, institutional buying decisions, reimbursement, and measurable improvements in patient care.

“I’m honored to join ONNIX and support a team focused on solving real problems in patient care,” said Begich. “Improving safety and outcomes requires both innovation and execution. I look forward to contributing to ONNIX’s mission and helping guide the company’s next stage of growth.”

As a Board member, Begich will support ONNIX’s governance, strategy, and external engagement as the company progresses through its clinical and commercial roadmap. His appointment reflects ONNIX’s continued emphasis on experienced leadership, disciplined oversight, and practical execution as it scales.
