In 1994 I was elected to the Sublette County Rural Health Care District. I served on that board from 1994 to 2002. During that time I was re-elected to serve two more two year terms.
In 2006 I was elected again to serve on the SCRHC board. I served until 2012. I am one of the original members of the Rural Health Foundation of Sublette County that was organized in 2008 or 2009. We officially became a 501©93) in 2010. The one goal that I strived to attain is to have affordable quality health care for anyone utilizing our clinics in both Pinedale and Marbleton. It is my aspiration to insure form birth to death one will have the best care there is to offer in Sublette County.
