Colder days are here, and it’s a good time to check in on your wellness routine. Are you drinking enough water? Getting fresh air? Bundling up before you head outside?

Even small things make a big difference in how we feel. A warm sweater, a brisk walk, or just five quiet minutes to yourself, it all adds up.

Stay cozy, stay well, and take good care of you. 💙

For 25 years, Rochelle Provancha has combined compassion and technology to improve patient care through health care informatics at Kootenai Health.

How long have you worked in health care?
I’ve worked at Kootenai Health for 25 years, and in health care for 26 years. I began as a bedside nurse in the Nursing Resource Team, where I spent 14 years caring for patients directly. For the past 11 years, I’ve been part of the IT team, combining my clinical background with informatics to support our clinicians and enhance patient care.

What do you most like about what you do?
I love that I still get to make a difference in patient care, even though I’m no longer at the bedside. This role allows me to combine my clinical expertise with the technical skills of informatics to improve health care delivery and outcomes. What I enjoy most is knowing the work I do helps support patients and clinicians every day, and I feel especially fortunate to collaborate with such an amazing team while doing it.

Where did you study?
North Idaho College and Western Governors University
