Getting to know Elise Tobey
Elise brings a unique combination of emergency medicine trauma expertise and psychiatric mental health specialization, providing essential crisis intervention capacity for communities with limited access. Her five years at Queen's Medical Center North Hawai?i Emergency Department—witnessing families drive 93 miles
from Kona to Hilo for basic mental health services—drives her commitment to ending the access crisis facing neighbor island communities.
As one of the original co-founders, Elise has demonstrated leadership in health equity initiatives, securing and
executing over $450,000 in grant funding and serving as a COVID-19 first responder. Her active collaboration with Hawaiian-focused health organizations ensures culturally responsive care delivery that honors indigenous healing practices, integrating Western psychiatric care with traditional Hawaiian approaches to
wellness, including the concept of lokahi (balance and harmony).
She is committed to building trust through sustained presence, cultural humility, and alignment with
community-identified needs.
Education
Elise holds a Master of Science in Nursing with psychiatric mental health specialization from Hawai?i Pacific University, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Regis University, and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Texas at Austin. She is board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC)1 with
additional emergency medicine specialization.
Her clinical background includes pediatric trauma care at Children's Hospital Colorado and extensive psychiatric emergency experience. At Blüm Health, Elise provides direct psychiatric assessment, medication management, and crisis intervention services, with expertise in rapid stabilization of acute psychiatric
presentations that reduces emergency department utilization and prevents costly psychiatric hospitalizations.
