BOZEMAN – Bozeman Deaconess Health Services announced in mid-February Kevin Pitzer will be its new president and chief executive officer. The BDHS Board of Trustees selected Pizter after a nationwide search.
“Throughout the interview process, Kevin displayed a keen knowledge of the health care industry, and importantly, a firm grasp of and firsthand experience with the coordinated, collaborative care models that will be driving the future of health care delivery,” said BDHS board chairman Terry Cunningham.
Pitzer has more than 25 years of senior healthcare leadership experience. Most recently, he was a Senior Vice President of Essentia Health and Chief Administrative Officer of the Essentia Health-West Region, which serves eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota. In that role, Pitzer was responsible for all operations of Essentia Health-West Region’s integrated health system of 250 employed physicians and providers, 3,400 employees, five hospitals and 34 clinics.
Pizer called the opportunities and challenges facing the country’s healthcare systems “exciting and daunting,” adding that the BDHS board and leadership “have been strategic and visionary in their past and current initiatives.”
His experience working jointly with physicians will benefit BDHS, according to Rob Blake, MD, Chief of BDHS Medical Staff.
“Kevin has a great history of working collaboratively with physicians,” Blake said. “He has the gear to take Bozeman Deaconess into the future and I look forward to working with him.”
Pitzer succeeds Gordon Davidson, BDHS Interim CEO and Chief Financial Officer. Davidson has been with BDHS for 30 years, and will retain his position as CFO.
Bozeman Deaconess Health Services is a nonprofit organization responsible for the operations of Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, Bozeman Deaconess Health Group, Hillcrest Senior Living and Highland Park Medical Campus and is governed by a community board of trustees. Pitzer starts in his new position on or before April 15.
Megan Paulson is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Outlaw Partners.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
