Outside of our hospital walls, but still impacting St. Pat’s, Jeremy has been instrumental in leading efforts to create a Mobile Support Team and now the creation of a designated 13-bed Mental Health Crisis Receiving Center in Missoula.
Jeremy is known for his innovative mindset and the caring manner in which he collaborates with others. Jeremy is well known for his compassion, energy, trust, and mutual respect. He is highly respected by his peers and appreciated by caregivers throughout the hospital.
Jeremy joined St. Patrick Hospital in 2017 after transferring to us from Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane where he had extensive expertise in mental health. His nursing leadership role at St. Pat’s began as the Clinical Nurse Manager of NBMI and currently as the Director of Behavioral Health. Jeremy has a significant influence in nursing across not only our inpatient psychiatric units but also across mental health services in the city of Missoula and St. Pat’s service area.
Jeremy has been instrumental in the opening of our Adolescent Inpatient Unit and the Behavioral Health ED Pod (Orange Zone) adjacent to our ED. Both endeavors were aimed at caring for a very vulnerable patient population with the goal of providing safe and timely care of mental health patients as well as a healthy and safe work environment for our caregivers. Jeremy has also collaborated extensively on teams to improve our workplace safety with education and processes aimed at identifying and preventing workplace violence at St. Pat’s.
Outside of our hospital walls, but still impacting St. Pat’s, Jeremy has been instrumental in leading efforts to create a Mobile Support Team and now the creation of a designated 13-bed Mental Health Crisis Receiving Center in Missoula. Through both these endeavors, Jeremy’s collaboration with several city leaders was aimed at employing de-escalation techniques and safety assessments to defuse a mental health crisis and maintain the individual in the community whenever possible, reducing the risk of arrests as a result of mental illness, limiting emergency room visits, eliminating costly ambulance transports, and eliminating excessive usage of resources. Despite constant barriers, Jeremy persisted, and a Mental Health Crisis Receiving Center is due to open next month.
Jeremy is an exemplary role model to those who report directly to him, those who collaborate with him on teams, and those with whom their roles intersect in our hospital, throughout Providence, and city-wide. Additionally, Jeremy serves as a role model professionally by continuing his nursing education and professional development by pursuing his Masters in Nursing degree and Masters in Business Administration.
Jeremy exemplifies nursing leadership at its best. He continually strives for excellence in problem-solving, safe patient care, and the safety of our caregivers. He embodies our Providence Mission and core values in the work he does every at St. Pat’s by motivating our caregivers with a shared vision to achieve better outcomes for our patients and a healthy workplace environment for our caregivers.
