Debbie was raised in the Colorado Rockies, and moved to Grants Pass in high school.

After graduating from Oregon Health & Sciences University (OHSU, 1988), Debbie worked as a traveling nurse (RN) for six years. Through her travels, she gained unique skills working in newborn intensive care units (NICU) across the country.

In 1996, Debbie obtained her women’s health care, and family nurse practitioner degrees from OHSU. She worked in Barrow, Alaska, then returned to southern Oregon to raise her family.

Debbie is proud to call Grants Pass home, and enjoys the rural lifestyle of scenic southern Oregon. She looks forward to continuing to provide primary health care to families at NorthWest Family Practice.

Your Chamber works every day to make our community a place where businesses can grow and prosper, where people want to raise their families and tourists want to visit.

To meet this mission, the Chamber’s organizational structure includes specific committees to create a strong economy and business climate. As a member based nonprofit organization, it allows members and businesses to help drive the focus of the Chamber of Commerce and meet the needs of our business community.

By including our members in the discussion, the Chamber is the center of our community and is able to adapt as needed. That is one reason why we are celebrating 99 years!

We are the voice of our business community due to your participation and engagement. Chamber Committees are one way that you can participate in shaping, developing and supporting our community. If you are interested in joining a committee, fill out a committee application to start the process.

Business Retention & Expansion

Chair- Lowell Gibson, Nicebadge

The purpose of BR&E is to help existing local businesses grow, expand and overcome obstacles. Formal face-to-face business surveys are conducted every three years to gather vital information to provide assistance to local companies.

The committee also promotes community awareness, engagement and education on issues impacting the community through forums and other resources. The committee is bipartisan and covers what is in the best interest of businesses.

Our YPN Quarterly Social at Climate City Brewing had a stellar turnout with quite a few new faces! Businesses represented ranged from real estate, financial consulting, solar, insurance, fishing guides, all the way to the food service industry. These events are a fun way to network and create strong lasting partnerships. This community landmark is full of historical features with modern touches, a tasteful mix that lends to the versatility and charm. Climate City definately lives up to their motto “Great FOOD, EXCEPTIONAL Beer!”

Thank you to Steve the brewer, the brewery tours were very informative. We look forward to hosting many more events at this location. Shout out to Nick Alexander Films for capturing this great night!
