Keep Our Community at the Center of Every Decision

Tahoe Forest Health System exists to serve the people of the Truckee-Tahoe region. I believe every significant decision should begin with one question: What is in the long-term best interest of our community? Whether the issue is access to care, affordability, capital investments, partnerships, or future growth, I will work to ensure decisions are thoughtful, transparent, fiscally responsible, and guided by the needs and values of the people we serve.

Earn Trust Through Transparency

Trust is built through openness, accountability, and honest communication. I believe the community deserves clear information about the Board's priorities, the reasoning behind major decisions, and the progress being made to address our region's healthcare challenges. Just as importantly, residents should have meaningful opportunities to ask questions, share concerns, and know their perspectives are being heard and considered.

Champion our People

Exceptional healthcare begins with exceptional people. Every employee at Tahoe Forest plays a vital role in serving our community. I believe listening to employees, valuing their expertise, and fostering a culture where they can thrive ultimately benefits every patient and our entire community.

Practice Thoughtful Stewardship

Tahoe Forest Health System is one of our community's most valuable assets, and protecting its long-term strength requires careful stewardship. I will approach every decision with fiscal responsibility, thoughtful analysis, and a long-term perspective—balancing today's needs with tomorrow's opportunities to ensure our health system remains strong, sustainable, and responsive to our community for generations to come.

Listen First, Lead Thoughtfully

Good governance begins with listening. I believe the best decisions are made by asking thoughtful questions, considering diverse perspectives, and working collaboratively to solve complex challenges. My commitment is to approach every issue with curiosity, respect, and an open mind—always focused on achieving the best possible outcome for the community we serve.
