Career: Retired

Year joined: 2015
Why you’re committed to serving on the board: I practiced orthopedics for almost 40 years before retiring and have served on the RiverStone Board of Health since 2015. As the board Chair, I am deeply concerned that RiverStone Health may struggle financially in coming years since the outlook on public health funding is troubling.

I have encouraged RiverStone Health Foundation to build an endowment that will allow the organization to continue its crucial community services. When you know all the good things RiverStone Health does for Billings and Yellowstone County, you want to get involved and sustain the positive work they do. Please contribute to our endowment – for the organization and all its amazing efforts.

Career: Retired

Year joined: 2023
Why you’re committed to serving on the board: I am recently retired from a career in the public and private sector working on healthcare policy, benefits and accessibility. I also represented the Billings Heights in the Montana Legislature for 16 years. Today’s healthcare system is extremely complex and financially challenging. As a board member, I hope that I will be able to join and support the board’s efforts to ensure the sustainability of all services and continue to enhance our community’s access to quality health and wellbeing.

I am honored to serve on the RiverStone Health Foundation Board, sharing the organization’s commitment to supporting and enhancing public health in our region. During my 20 years of experience working in healthcare policy, I’ve seen first-hand the critical importance of the services and leadership RiverStone Health. Not only do the organization and staff work to enhance the health and wellbeing of the community, but RiverStone Health plays a major role in educating and advocating on Montana public health issues.
