A Father’s Day Tribute: Honoring the Generations Before

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.

For years, it seemed like school would nev­er end. Yet before you knew it, you’ve said good­bye to your last class and you’re get­ting your adult­ing on. 

Becom­ing respon­si­ble for your own health­care might not be first on your to-do list just yet – but it should be in one of the top spots.

National Cancer Survivors Day: Mellissa's Story

Mel­lis­sa D., a devot­ed mom and care­tak­er, was used to putting oth­ers first — until per­sis­tent abdom­i­nal pain led to a life-chang­ing diag­no­sis of large B‑cell lym­phoma. Hav­ing pre­vi­ous­ly over­come colon can­cer, Mel­lis­sa faced a new and more intense jour­ney involv­ing chemother­a­py and emo­tion­al recov­ery. With the sup­port of her fam­i­ly, her faith, and the care team at Quin­cy Med­ical Group, includ­ing oncol­o­gist Dr. Ray­mond Smith, Mel­lis­sa com­plet­ed treat­ment and emerged as a two-time can­cer sur­vivor. Now, she’s shar­ing her sto­ry to encour­age oth­ers to lis­ten to their bod­ies, lean on hope, and know that brighter days are pos­si­ble — even after the dark­est moments.

A Diagnosis She Never Expected: Leanne's Story

Leanne W. spent years enjoy­ing the sun with­out much thought about the risks. When a spot on her leg reap­peared years after removal, she put off get­ting it checked — until a mas­sage ther­a­pist urged her to take action. That push led to a melanoma diag­no­sis and time­ly treat­ment by Quin­cy Med­ical Group’s Der­ma­tol­ogy team. Now can­cer-free, Leanne shares her sto­ry to remind oth­ers not to wait: It could save your life.
