When Joan­na Shipe was in col­lege, a life-chang­ing phone call shat­tered her world. Her dad had suf­fered a mas­sive heart attack and was diag­nosed with con­ges­tive heart fail­ure. Doc­tors told him he had just three years to live unless he received a heart trans­plant. Watch­ing her father fight for his life ignit­ed some­thing in Joan­na — a real­iza­tion that her own health need­ed atten­tion too.

Bas­ket­ball is more than just a game — it’s a prov­ing ground for per­se­ver­ance, team­work, and lead­er­ship. For Martha B. and Jack­olyn W., Quin­cy Med­ical Group (QMG) employ­ees by day and state-cham­pi­on bas­ket­ball coach­es by night, it’s also a plat­form to inspire the next generation.

Martha is Phys­i­cal Ther­a­pist with our QMG Mt. Ster­ling Clin­ic, while Jack­olyn works as Nuclear Med Tech­nol­o­gist. This sea­son, both guid­ed their local 7^th-grade girls’ bas­ket­ball teams to state cham­pi­onship vic­to­ries, blend­ing their love for the sport with a deep pas­sion for men­tor­ing young athletes.

Hear­ing loss can sneak up on you over time and can seem­ing­ly hap­pen overnight. Either way, los­ing your hear­ing can send you on a down­ward spi­ral – but the good news is there’s no need to pan­ic. Thanks to advance­ments in hear­ing aids (both pre­scribed and over-the-counter) and hear­ing aug­men­ta­tion implant­ed devices such as cochlear implants, there are plen­ty of solu­tions available.

Mor­gan S., Peo­ple & Cul­ture Gen­er­al­ist at QMG, received the 2024 Employ­ee Lead­er­ship Award for trans­form­ing recruit­ment efforts.
