Board

Mary has served on the board as an elected member since 2016. She was previously the board president but stepped down. She is committed to serving until May of 2027. Mary and her husband live in Eads.

Mary was born in Lamar and grew up in Eads. She graduated from high school and worked at the Eads clinic for several years as a receptionist and medical assistant. She moved to Colorado Springs to attend accounting school, and then onto Denver in the early 70's. She began working for Colorado Interstate Gas (CIG), got married, and had daughter Katie. She devoted 17 years to CIG. During her employment she relocated to Shoshoni WY and started volunteering as an EMT in her spare time. Mary left WY in 1994 to return to Eads where she married Whit Eikner. She dedicated her time to working at the school, volunteering as an EMT, and even serving as ambulance director. Additionally, she spent several years working at the clinic and hospital before retiring in 2015. Mary was motivated to become a board member due to her understanding of the hospital's operations, and she recognized the value this insight could bring to the board. She has served on the board for about eight years and is excited about the hospital's journey ahead.
