For Kevin R., Quin­cy Med­ical Group (QMG) has been a trust­ed health­care part­ner through­out his life — from sur­viv­ing a near-fatal child­hood acci­dent under the care of Dr. Wal­ter Whitak­er to receiv­ing ongo­ing ortho­pe­dic and spe­cial­ty care as an adult. Kevin val­ues the long-stand­ing rela­tion­ships he’s built with QMG providers. His expe­ri­ences have rein­forced his belief in the high-qual­i­ty care avail­able local­ly at QMG, mak­ing it his go-to choice for both him­self and his family.

In Novem­ber 2023, Gerald’s health rapid­ly declined due to micro­scop­ic polyangi­itis, lead­ing to kid­ney and lung fail­ure. After some time with in-cen­ter dial­y­sis, he and his wife, Therese, explored peri­toneal dial­y­sis (PD) through Quin­cy Med­ical Group (QMG). With sup­port from QMG’s team, Ger­ald tran­si­tioned to home dial­y­sis, which improved his qual­i­ty of life and allowed him to trav­el again. 

When Kathryn and Adam wel­comed their son Reece into the world, they were met with uncer­tain­ty fol­low­ing his diag­no­sis with an extreme­ly rare genet­ic con­di­tion. As Reece faced com­plex med­ical chal­lenges, his fam­i­ly won­dered if the care he need­ed could be found close to home. Through the sup­port of their pedi­a­tri­cian and ther­a­py team at Quin­cy Med­ical Group, they dis­cov­ered not just expert care, but a com­mu­ni­ty of providers who became true part­ners in Reece’s journey.

Abi­gail L. faced an unex­pect­ed health cri­sis after mov­ing from Arkansas to attend col­lege in Quin­cy. What seemed like typ­i­cal adjust­ment symp­toms — fatigue, weight loss, and feel­ing cold — turned out to be warn­ing signs of some­thing much more seri­ous. After falling asleep unex­pect­ed­ly at work, Abi­gail sought help at QMG Now Urgent Care, lead­ing to a colonoscopy at the QMG Surgery Cen­ter. There, she received a life-alter­ing diag­no­sis: col­orec­tal can­cer. Though rare for some­one so young, her case reflects a ris­ing trend of younger adults diag­nosed with the disease.
