SANDPOINT — On Tuesday, the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce’s Women in Business Committee will welcome Lynda Metz from Bonner General Hospital.

Additionally, Metz spent 10 years in health care operations and large physician group practices in the Dallas area prior to working for the Komen Foundation.

 Women in Business is pleased to have Metz discuss her personal career journey and the direction of the hospital and new foundation
