Why are you the best candidate to serve voters? (500 characters)
What is the top change, if any, you would work for during your term in office? (500 characters)
Hello. I am Ellen Bomstad. I am running for election to the Northern Itasca Hospital District Board/Bigfork Valley Hospital, Itasca At-Large seat.
My husband, Tim, and I moved to Bigfork in 2019. I have been a registered nurse for over 45 years and with my critical care work history, caring for and about people is central to my being. In addition to spending time as a RN in hospitals, I have worked in the Medicare office, as a data analyst, an investigator, a quality assurance specialist and an employee trainer.
I began volunteering at the Bigfork Valley Hospital Gift Nest when it reopened in 2024; I have had the honor and privilege to be on the Board of Directors of three 501(c)3 organizations in the past. As an interested community member, I have attended most of the Bigfork Hospital District Regular Board and Finance Committee Meetings for the past three years, which has sparked my interest in running for this position.
I feel a strong and growing local hospital will directly improve the well-being of the communities it serves. My goal is to contribute to our hospital by serving to the best of my ability if elected to the Board of Directors.
