Craig Chiesa

I've led more than 70 multi-day wilderness expeditions with Wilderness River Outfitters and coordinated a six-person COVID-19 case investigation team for the Missoula City County Health Department. I conducted high-volume patient outreach, connected people to testing and community resources, and used performance metrics to strengthen daily operations.

As a snowboard patrol EMT at Discovery Mountain, I assessed and treated injured patients in high-acuity outdoor settings, coordinated transfers with EMS and Life Flight, and supported avalanche mitigation. I'm completing my BSN in 2026 and am committed to advancing health equity through compassionate education, emergency response, and resource navigation.
