Bio
Courtney Shanahan, MSN, FNP-C , has been working in nursing for 10 years
throughout Idaho and Montana in critical care and medical/surgical settings.
She received her Master's Degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner from
Gonzaga University in 2016. She is excited to bring this knowledge and
experience to the Bitterroot Valley with a focus on disease prevention
and patient education. "Living and working in a rural setting is
extremely rewarding because I can see the benefit directly on the community
where I live," said Courtney. "I have a very holistic approach
to care, building a relationship with the patient as an individual first
before we determine together the best plan of care." When not working,
you'll probably find Courtney hiking or climbing in the mountains
with her husband Kurt and their two dogs.
