Unsung Heroes: Health Tech Team
School Nurse Day is May 11, so we felt it was only right to highlight the team caring for our children in schools everyday.
Meet the Health Tech Team!
Anita Cooper
Anita came to Craig from Lander, Wyoming and she is the Health Tech for Craig Middle School. She loves getting to know each and every student and being able to help make students feel cared for and safe.
“I really enjoy working with and taking care of the kids,” Anita said.
Laurie Davidson
Laurie is a Craig native and works in the building where she went to elementary school – Sunset Elementary School! This is her fourth year working for MRH and she loves being able to be a helpful and positive person in student’s life.
“The things I love most about my job are the relationships I have with my coworkers and the students,” Laurie said.
Paige Dowker
Paige grew up in Meeker but moved after high school and later started her family in Craig. She is the Health Tech for Sandrock Elementary School. Paige said what she loves the most about her job is being able to offer extra support to children who may need it.
“Being able to talk with each child about what is new in their life or what they are most excited about is easily the best part of my job,” Paige said.

“I love what I do. I love being around the kids and I love being with all my coworkers,” Beverly said. “We work hard and love our jobs and people.”
Amber Schwingdorf
Amber was born and raised in Craig, left for 17 years, then came back and now works as the Health Tech for Early Childhood Center Preschool and Alternative High School. Amber had been a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) for 19 years before starting as a health tech. She said this job has opened her eyes to a whole other world of care and that it is very rewarding.
“What I love most about my job is seeing the children every day. But I also love helping people and seeing them thrive,” Amber said.
