"I always knew I wanted to be a doctor and surgeon, just like my dad," says Kaitlyn C. McCune, MD. "But I was drawn to Ob-Gyn my second year of medical school during a community rotation. It was there that I had the privilege of being a part of my first delivery, a healthy baby girl! Throughout the rest of my medical school training, I continued to see the strength of birthing parents and their families. I was drawn to the advocacy work inherent in Ob-Gyn and reproductive healthcare." Dr. McCune earned her undergraduate degree from Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia. She attended the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine and completed her residency at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. "Every day, I am honored to be a part of my patients' lives, even if for just a moment, and I endeavor to ensure truly patient-centered care with each encounter," she says.

What a weekend! On Friday, InterMed employees went to the Dempsey Challenge Sponsor Reception in Auburn. Hosted by Patrick Dempsey and Mark Consuelos, this event brought together challenge sponsors who signed up to volunteer or race. Our team had a great time while showing InterMed's commitment to the cause. On Saturday, we participated in the Dempsey Challenge in Lewiston, with team members volunteering and racing in various events. We also staffed the Medical Tent, located by the finish line and had volunteers camped out at rest stops among the routes. The day was filled with collaboration, community spirit and meaningful engagement. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated and supported us—together, we raised $6,865 for the Dempsey Challenge. We look forward to participating again next year! #RallyTogether2024 #DempseyChallenge #CareWithoutCompromise

"I was drawn to family medicine largely for the ability to work with all ages, at all stages of life," says Maura Fox, DO. "My goal as a primary care physician is to place emphasis on the prevention or reversal of chronic disease through lifestyle medicine. Family medicine also allows me to see patients for all aspects of reproductive health, which is a passion of mine." Dr. Fox earned her undergraduate degree from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. She attended the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her residency at Mountain Area Health Education Center in Asheville, North Carolina. Working in primary care allows for longitudinal relationships with patients, she says, and these relationships are key to finding “meaning in medicine.” Dr. Fox loves family medicine for the fact that she can treat the entire family from “womb to tomb” - working with newborns after seeing a pregnant person through their prenatal care, watching pediatric patients meet their developmental milestones and seeing young adults through adulthood and beyond. "It is a privilege to get to know each and every family and individual, and work together to meet their health goals," she says. Learn more about Dr. Fox here https://bit.ly/4gmnJWs.

"It is such an honor working with children and their families to form strong partnerships that empower them to achieve their health goals all while emphasizing the importance of a healthy body and mind," says Lauren Jamele-Townley, DO. Dr. Jamele-Townley hails from just outside of Boston and earned her undergraduate degree at Boston University. After a few years of experience as an EMT/emergency room technician, she ventured to Maine for medical school and residency. While she approached medical school rotations with an open mind and was captivated by multiple specialties, pediatrics always held a special place in her heart. It was during her residency that she found herself drawn to the primary care clinic, where the bonds she formed with patients and their families became deeply meaningful. It was at that point she knew her calling was in primary care pediatrics. Outside of work, Dr. Jamele-Townley cherishes time with her family, whether biking together, enjoying family game nights, building LEGO creations with her son, playing the piano or relaxing with a good book at the beach.

Happy Labor Day! Today, we celebrate the remarkable commitment and hard work of our employees. Your dedication to providing care without compromise strengthens our communities every day. Whether you’re enjoying a well-deserved break or serving patients today, thank you for all you do.
