Quin­cy Med­ical Group is proud to present Danielle B. with the 2025 Ris­ing Impact Award. Danielle has quick­ly made a mean­ing­ful impact through her lead­er­ship, col­lab­o­ra­tion, and ded­i­ca­tion, strength­en­ing teams and improv­ing patient care. Her cre­ativ­i­ty, ini­tia­tive, and com­mit­ment exem­pli­fy the qual­i­ties cel­e­brat­ed by this award.

Pen­ny Buen­ing brings a life­time of small-town val­ues to her work as a nurse prac­ti­tion­er in Can­ton and Lewis­town. Her jour­ney from agri­cul­ture to nurs­ing, along with the influ­ence of her family’s his­to­ry in rur­al med­i­cine, guides her com­mit­ment to com­pas­sion­ate, rela­tion­ship-cen­tered care.

Jes­si­ca B., a moth­er of two, ini­tial­ly believed the lump she found was rou­tine, just like a benign mass she’d had removed years ear­li­er. This time, how­ev­er, the famil­iar check-up led to a sur­pris­ing diag­no­sis — triple-neg­a­tive inva­sive breast can­cer. Faced with this unex­pect­ed fight, Jes­si­ca’s focus shift­ed to find­ing a care team she could trust.

Every career has a back­sto­ry. For Ryan Teheng, Cer­ti­fied Reg­is­tered Nurse Anes­thetist (CRNA) Coor­di­na­tor at Quin­cy Med­ical Group, that sto­ry starts in the kitchen and leads to the oper­at­ing room. In this Q&A, Ryan talks about the influ­ences that shaped his path, the work he loves, and the lessons his patients have taught them.

This APP Week, we spoke with Angela Dun­can, APRN, FNP-BC, from our QMG Can­cer Insti­tute. Angela meets patients where they are, offer­ing guid­ance and under­stand­ing dur­ing life’s hard­est moments. Her ener­gy and enthu­si­asm — whether in Cross­Fit or sky­div­ing — reflect the care and encour­age­ment she brings to every patient.

In hon­or of Advanced Prac­tice Providers Week, we rec­og­nize Sta­cia Briscoe, FNP‑C, and explore what inspired her to pur­sue a career in healthcare.

As we kick off Advanced Prac­tice Provider Week, we’re high­light­ing the incred­i­ble work of our team mem­bers who make a dif­fer­ence in patients’ lives every day. First up is Sarah Dou­glas, AGAC-NP, an Acute Care Nurse Prac­ti­tion­er who works in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Dr. Adam Rey­burn at Quin­cy Med­ical Group
