She started working at Weisbrod when she was in high school as a Dietary Aide and Activities Assistant. She graduated from high school in 2003 and moved to Connecticut to attend nursing school. After nursing school, she worked at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah, as an Oncology nurse for 10 years. While there, she received her bachelor’s in nursing from Regis University and her master’s in nursing from the University of Utah. She worked as a bedside nurse, clinical nurse educator, and nurse manager.
In 2017, she stepped into a full-time administrative role and took a position at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, as the Ambulatory Operations Director. She managed all the outpatient practices in Idaho, Utah, and Nevada and had a very active role in business development and clinic operations. In her last role there, she was the Administrative Director for the new satellite campus in Lehi, Utah. In 2023, she had the opportunity to move back to Kiowa County and assume the role of CEO for the Kiowa County Hospital District with her husband, Chad, and their two sons. They love this community and feel blessed to be a part of it.

Jodi Stolzenberger serves as the Chief Nursing Officer at Weisbrod Health, bringing with her a deep-rooted passion for rural healthcare and a wealth of experience in the field. Her journey in healthcare began in 1999 at the very same hospital, where she started as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Driven by a commitment to serve her community, Jodi pursued her nursing education at Lamar Community College, earning both her LPN and ADN degrees in 2004.
Over the years, Jodi has held several leadership roles, including serving as Assistant Director of Nursing from 2005 to 2013. Her career has also taken her beyond hospital walls, with time spent as a nurse for the Colorado Department of Corrections and as a Clinic Manager/Administrator. These diverse experiences have shaped her into a strong advocate and leader in rural healthcare, where she believes providers can truly shine—delivering high-quality care with limited resources, often under challenging circumstances.
A lifelong resident of Eads, Jodi grew up in the community where her parents ran Michael’s Truck Stop. She and her husband, Darrell, have proudly raised two children in Eads, continuing their deep ties to the town she’s always called home.
