Hope is a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner hailing originally from the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia who first graduated from the University of Montana with an undergraduate degree in Native American Studies. Twenty years sober, she later obtained a nursing degree amidst the unfolding opioid epidemic in Virginia.

She completed her MSN at Duke University in a program designed specifically to serve under-resourced populations. She considers it a privilege to show up for others who have felt pushed to society’s fringes and loves advocacy work.

She splits her time between Anaconda and Havre, is obsessed with her dogs Mia and Scout and possesses an abiding love for indigenous art from around the world.

David is a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner seeing patients from his home state of Michigan. He graduated in 2023 from Duke University with his MSN and considers his lived experience with trauma instrumental in informing patient care. As a gay man, he considers himself an ally to those with varying gender identities and sexual orientations.

Prior to Duke he completed a master’s degree in genetics from Dartmouth College. Positive experiences with a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in campus health at Dartmouth motivated his career change to nursing.

David enjoys tennis, music, and dancing. He also shares a love of art with his identical twin who is an artist in New York City.
