Chemotherapy & Infusion Center Manager Promoted from Within CPMC

Cabinet Peaks Medical Center is happy to announce Devenne Leiss as the Chemotherapy and Infusion Manager. Devenne has been a registered nurse since 2006, working in the emergency rooms in Polson and in Libby prior to joining the CPMC Chemotherapy & Infusion Center in 2012. In 2014, Devenne worked hard to receive her Certified Registered Nurse of Infusion (CRNI) to compliment her extraordinary patient care. Tonya Teegardin, CPMC's Chief Nursing Officer, states "Devenne has a passion for the community and the patients we serve. Her dedication to the Chemo & Infusion Department shines through every day."

Devenne grew up in Dickinson, North Dakota and has a long history in healthcare. She started working as a Certified Nursing Assistant at the age of 16 and then became a Registered Nurse in her 20's. She is happy to be stepping into this role, "I moved to Libby 14 years ago and started working night shift in the Emergency department. Since that time, I met my husband, started a family and have made Libby my forever home. I started in the Infusion Department 10 years ago and have worked my way up from staff RN to Coordinator to Manager of the department. I am excited to officially have the Manager title and am looking forward to continuing and hopefully expanding our wonderful department to benefit the residents of Lincoln County."

Devenne lives in Libby with her husband, Sam Scheer. Together they have an eight-year-old son, Benjamin.
