Robert O’Rourke – Libby, MO – Northwest Community Health

Robert O’Rourke

Robert O’Rourke was born in Kalispell, Montana. I lived for the first few years in Libby, however my family moved to Seattle, Washington where I was raised. I loved spending my summers and school breaks back in Libby and promptly moved back permanently after graduating high school in 1993. 

I first fell in love with the medical field during the 10 years that I spent volunteering as an EMT for Libby Volunteer Ambulance. This love eventually led me to become a Respiratory Therapist and I worked for 16 years at St. John’s Lutheran Hospital, now Cabinet Peaks

Although Cardiopulmonary was a fantastic career opportunity, my true desire has always been to develop my skills and offer a higher level of service to my patients and community.

To that end, I returned to school to become a Physician Assistant and have worked in Family Medicine at the Libby Clinic since graduating in 2018.

I truly enjoy Family Medicine as it gives me the chance to get to know my patients and make a difference in almost every aspect of their lives.

I am excited to join the team at the Northwest Community Health Center where I hope to continue making a positive impact on the lives of individuals and the community that we serve
