Liz Powers

President & CEO

Since making the valley her home in 2006, Dr. Powers has poured her heart into caring for her neighbors—both as a dedicated family physician and as a champion for local healthcare innovation. Because she knows a person's health is deeply tied to where they live, work, and play, she has dedicated her career to breaking down the barriers that rural communities face. Dr. Powers brings unmatched dedication, clinical wisdom, and a collaborative spirit to the team, keeping the Network of Care focused on creating a stronger, healthier, and more connected Wallowa County for everyone. She loves to spend time outdoors adventuring and her passions are her family (husband Nic and sons Malakai and Atticus) and music, most of all her violin.
