Lucy Osborne Named Idaho Hosptial Association
Trustee of the Year
Recently, Idaho Hospital Association selected Lucy Osborne to receive the IHA’s
Trustee of the Year Award. The award recognizes one hospital trustee who has
made exemplary contributions to improve his or her hospital’s service to its
patients and community. Lucy will be presented with her award at the 81st Annual
IHA Convention, this October in Sun Valley.
Lucy began her service to North Canyon Medical Center in 2001 when she was
appointed to the Gooding County Memorial Hospital (GCMH) District Board. She
served there for the next ten years in various board positions. She was also a board
member on the GCMH Foundation where she donated her time and financial resources to many
fundraising events.
In November 2007, the GCMH District and St. Luke’s Health System signed an agreement to form a nonprofit hospital corporation, Partners in Healthcare, Inc. (PIH) DBA North Canyon Medical Center
(NCMC). Lucy was appointed to the PIH Board at this time and served on various board committees,
including planning, performance improvement and finance. She became the PIH Board Chairman in
2010 and continues to serve as an ex-officio on the board committees.
Lucy’s leadership and enthusiasm for the future of North Canyon Medical Center (NCMC) has inspired
trust and confidence in the board, medical staff, community and employees. Her leadership has helped
NCMC become a cohesive, dynamic organization with a desire to pursue opportunities that will enhance
quality patient care and access.
Lucy’s service to the community extends beyond her dedication to the hospital board. She served as
Chairman of the Gooding County Fair and Rodeo Board from 1982-1989 and was Rodeo Manager from
1989-1995. During this time, she brought Gooding County together to raise funds to build a new
grandstand and concession area. She was honored by the City of Gooding when the road to the
fairgrounds was named after her, “Lucy Lane.”
