Our Staff

April is a Montanan and an operational healthcare leader. As a motivated and passionate professional with a tenacity for innovation and quality care, her career focus has been to improve healthcare access to all patients whilst leveraging technology, relationships, and improvement in logistical footprints across Montana. April and her three amazing children spend their spare time enjoying adventure all around Montana, but she is especially attracted to the Flathead and Bitterroot Valleys.

Alison is recognized for her pragmatic approach to healthcare innovation, particularly in designing comprehensive care models for pediatric patients with complex medical needs. With a background as a pediatric emergency physician, Dr. Curfman has spearheaded transformative programs across various health systems. Notably, she founded Imagine Pediatrics, introducing groundbreaking virtual-first population health models. In addition to her entrepreneurial endeavors, Dr. Curfman played a pivotal role in securing grant funding for Montana Pediatrics to advance complex care initiatives and is currently serving as the medical director for our complex care program. She continues to champion accessible, high-quality care for all pediatric patients.

Melissa has been working with families across Montana for most of her professional career. Prior to joining Montana Pediatrics, Melissa worked in several early childhood professional positions. In 2007, she became a Family Support Specialist and found a passion for working with parents who had children with developmental delays and disabilities. It was during this time that she fell wildly in love with supporting parents and their children. Over time, this love led to her pursuit of a Master’s degree in Social Work and now helping parents bring more fun and ease into their parenting is her passion. When Melissa is not working she can be found cooking, dancing, or connecting with her family and friends.

Kristin is a pediatric nurse practitioner with a specialty in primary care. As a clinician, she is humbled by being invited into situations where children are experiencing illness, injury, trauma, and stress (and wellness, too!) and seeks to be a compassionate, reliable partner in the care of every child she meets. She believes in the inherent value in each human life and as such, finds joy in addressing disparities that prevent some children from accessing quality healthcare. She lives in Kalispell with her husband and 3 kids and enjoys bike rides, downhill skiing, novels, bribing her children to enjoy hiking and gardening with her, and is very interested in healthy soil and how it relates to human health.

Carly is a development professional and a proud graduate of the University of Montana. She realized her passion for pediatric healthcare philanthropy at the age of 14 when she helped start a 5K benefiting local children with pediatric cancer. Since then, she has dedicated her volunteerism and professional career to fundraising and advocating for children’s hospitals and pediatric healthcare programs.
