What fuels your passion to serve our Indigenous Relatives of Missoula as a member of the All Nations Health Center Board of Directors?

A core value of mine is serving and supporting Tribal communities—work that has shaped much of my professional journey. Returning to Missoula reaffirmed my commitment to staying engaged with this community, both personally and professionally.
