Sandra O’keefe

Sandra O’Keefe, an oncology nurse at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, Idaho, has been a commissioner for five years. O’Keefe received her bachelor’s degree in microbiology from University of Washington in 1980 and completed her registered nurses training in 1991. She and her husband, Michael Neff, an associate professor of crop biotechnology at Washington State University, have two daughters: Alexandra and Samantha. “The hospital has done an amazing job planning for on-site expansion to meet the growing needs of our community,” O’Keefe added. “I am looking forward to the prospect of having centers for Learning and Innovation as well as Women’s and Children’s Health included on the hospital campus.”
