Marybeth and her husband Tim live in Belgrade and have raised six children in the Gallatin Valley.  She is a Montana native and proud grandmother of four beautiful children.

Marybeth answered the call to ministry when in 2008 she laid the groundwork for St. Catherine Family Health Care Clinic & Pregnancy Resource Center.  An increase in teen pregnancies and the economic downturn revealed the need for compassionate health care for low income Gallatin Valley residents and pregnant teens and women.  Many Spanish speaking clients are also served.  Through the generous donations and volunteer labor of many loving people in the community, St. Catherine was officially opened on August 1, 2008 and serves all people in the Valley – poor and prosperous, young and old, women and men.   

Marybeth is a Family Nurse Practitioner and the Medical Director at St. Catherine.  She holds both a Bachelors and a Masters degree in Nursing from Gonzaga University.  She has been a registered nurse for over 20 years and has worked in intensive care, oncology, and internal medicine.  She is a member of Sigma Theta Tau Nursing Honor Society and The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.  Marybeth is a certified teacher in Natural Family Planning in the Diocese of Helena and also advises couples with fertility issues.  She speaks Spanish and has participated in Medical Mission work to Mexico.

Marybeth has been active with Belgrade youth.  She has coached the distance team with the Bozeman Indoor Track Club, AYSO soccer teams, and is herself active in the running community.  She has volunteered for years in the Belgrade Schools as chaperone, classroom aid, and athletic events volunteer.  She also speaks on medical ethics and The New Feminism to organizations and private groups.  She loves her Faith and parish at Valley of Flowers Catholic Church, and plays the organ for Mass every Sunday.
