Stephanie McDowell, Executive Director

Stephanie's passion for family planning has rooted in her 16-year commitment to Bridgercare. She grew up knowing that her privileged life resulted, in part, from family planning existing for her parents. Aware change can happen in a mere generation, she works to create the same advantages for others. With the help of Stephanie’s strategic resolve, Bridgercare has been recognized for its innovative solutions to changes in the healthcare landscape that puts patient access first. Stephanie’s education in Cell Biology, Neuroscience, and French at MSU generated diverse work experiences in the United States and France. After years as a nomad, Stephanie settled back into Bozeman to pursue her passion for family well-being and public health. When Stephanie isn’t helping people plan for their families, she can be found playing with hers’ and delighting in Montana’s natural beauty.
