Moriah Scott-Tucker
(She/Her)
Board Member
My name is Moriah Tucker-Scott and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner working with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. I am married into the Tribe to my husband, Darry Scott. We have 16 fur babies, 6 dogs and 10 cats.
Over thirty years’ experience working in mental health has afforded me the opportunity to learn and work with people of many cultures and incorporate that learning into improving healthcare outcomes for the persons I serve. It has also been my great privilege to serve on several boards over the years. I am from Ohio and I have been a member of the Southwest Priority Board, The Community Roundtable, and I have served on the boards of Sweet as Honey Child Care Development Center and Miami Valley Child Development Centers. It was also my innovative approach to teaching and learning that afforded nursing students clinical learning opportunities in child care centers and school-based health care programs.
Darryl and I enjoy golfing, sporting events, and I love karaoke.
Staff
Penny Pritchard
(She/Her)
Executive Director
As a Bend native, stepping into the Executive Director role for COHQA is a real homecoming for Penny. Over 20 years ago, she worked alongside healthcare providers in Bend who mentored and inspired her to pursue a health-related career to address health disparities.
As the first person in her family to earn a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Public Health, Penny has used her education to become a change agent. She has worked alongside community partners in cross-sectors, obtaining resources to develop, implement and evaluate community-based programs. In September 2023, Penny received the Oregon Primary Care Association Health Equity and Social Justice Award for “leading the cause to improve health equity for Oregonians and being grounded in the roots and mission of community health centers.” Penny looks forward to working with communities and providers to think innovatively to advance health equity across Oregon.
Penny enjoys reading, gardening, cooking, connecting with her partner and friends through mountain biking, snowboarding, camping or hiking, and playing with her miniature Dachshund, “Otto Von Long Dog” or “Otto” for short.
