My name is Crystal Marx. I have been a registered nurse since 2001 and a Family Nurse Practitioner since 2019. I obtained a Master's of Science in Nursing from the University of North Dakota.

My family and I live in Three Forks, my husband and two sons; Sawyer and Gabe. Both my husband Mat and I were born and raised in the Gallatin Valley, growing up in Belgrade.

Our family loves baseball, camping, boating, fishing, watching Bobcat football and just being outside in the summer and sometimes in the winter too.

I have worked as a RN in the hospital setting on the medical/surgical unit for 6 years followed by the wound clinic. I continue to be certified in wound care. My family and I feel so grateful to be part of the Three Forks community and I love being able to work so close to home in a great rural clinic.
