QMG Stories

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 

Heather and Karl’s qui­et sus­pi­cion turned into a joy­ful sur­prise when an ultra­sound con­firmed they were hav­ing twins. From preg­nan­cy to first check­ups, Quin­cy Med­ical Group’s trust­ed OB and pedi­atric teams pro­vid­ed guid­ance, reas­sur­ance, and care every step of the way.

In the lives of many fam­i­lies, there’s been one famil­iar, com­fort­ing pres­ence through count­less snif­fles, check-ups, first fevers, and grow­ing pains — Becky Campbell.

After more than 40 years ded­i­cat­ed to pedi­atrics, includ­ing 27 years with Quin­cy Med­ical Group (QMG), Becky, a nurse prac­ti­tion­er, is retir­ing. To the fam­i­lies she cared for, she has been more than just a health­care provider; she has become a cher­ished part of their extend­ed family. 

Some­times a lit­tle push from loved ones can make all the dif­fer­ence. For David P., encour­age­ment from his wife and daugh­ters led to a der­ma­tol­ogy appoint­ment that may have saved his life. Dur­ing a full skin exam with Dr. Austin Mad­dy at Quin­cy Med­ical Group, a sus­pi­cious mole on David’s neck was iden­ti­fied as melanoma — caught ear­ly thanks to their per­sis­tence. David’s expe­ri­ence is a pow­er­ful reminder of how quick, sim­ple, and poten­tial­ly life­sav­ing a skin exam can be.

This Father’s Day, Quin­cy Med­ical Group’s Sarah McIn­tyre, PA‑C, reflects on the lega­cy of care passed down through her fam­i­ly. Inspired by her grand­fa­ther, Dr. Mer­le Cross­land, and great-grand­fa­ther, Dr. Wal­ter Whitak­er — one of QMG’s founders — Sarah con­tin­ues their tra­di­tion of com­pas­sion­ate, com­mu­ni­ty-cen­tered health­care. Their val­ues of integri­ty, ded­i­ca­tion, and ser­vice live on through Sarah’s work in pedi­atrics, hon­or­ing the gen­er­a­tions before her and the patients she serves today.

Nicole Mason, Surgery and Vas­cu­lar Surgery Coor­di­na­tor and QMG Foun­da­tion Board Pres­i­dent, has seen first­hand the life-chang­ing impact of the Foundation’s work. From help­ing oncol­o­gy patients and sup­port­ing fam­i­lies in cri­sis to fund­ing schol­ar­ships and local ini­tia­tives, Nicole is proud to be part of a mis­sion that reach­es far beyond the walls of QMG — into the heart of the community.
