Jason Mangiardi, MD
Dr. Jason Mangiardi with his husband and children
After completing his residency in otolaryngology, Dr. Jason Mangiardi began his post-training career in New York City at a very busy and productive office. “Though the practice had a very good and supportive staff, there was not a lot of work/life balance,” said Dr. Mangiardi. So, when he and his husband decided to start a family, they looked north, where family members had also settled, for a slower pace of life. Dr. Mangiardi calls Concord Hospital Otolaryngology, a lifestyle practice where everyone works very hard at work, but endeavors to enjoy time off with family. “It is a very rewarding practice that does not overwhelm all aspects of my life.” Dr. Mangiardi notes that even though Concord is extremely close to Boston, he and his family rarely go, as they do not feel the need. “There are many more cultural options and diversity of experiences here than expected, including theater, dance and craftsmanship,” he says. Dr. Mangiardi, his husband, and their two adopted children also enjoy all the beauty and experiences the outdoors offer.
Emely Quinones, APRN
Emely Quinones with her husband JC
Emely grew up in Derry, New Hampshire and has been with Concord Hospital since 2007 when she secured her first job as a medical assistant (MA) in pulmonary medicine. During this time, she decided to work towards her nursing degree. Staying on as an MA at the Hospital throughout her studies, Emely graduated from NHTI’s nursing program in 2012. She subsequently moved to the progressive care unit at Concord Hospital as a cardiac nurse. Eventually, she decided to further her education and career and attended St. Joseph’s College of Maine to become a nurse practitioner. As a result, Emely moved to her current position as an APRN at Concord Hospital’s Urological Institute. When asked why she has stayed with the same hospital for so long, Emely immediately touts the immense support she received from both colleagues and administrators. “I didn’t know I wanted to be an NP when I first started, but I was, fortunately, able to work with the organization through my growth with great mentors and a wonderfully close and supportive Hospital community,” she said. She notes that she has remained because it is important to her to give back to the community that invested so much in her and made it possible for her to accomplish her dream. Emely currently lives the dream with her husband and their two twin girls.
Dr. Madden-Fuentes with his wife Laura
Dr. Madden-Fuentes joined Concord Hospital in 2017 after completing his residency and fellowship in reconstructive surgery and cancer survivorship at Duke University. His favorite things about living and working here thus far include: excellent work/life balance; a centralized location that affords easy access to lakes, beaches, mountains and larger cities; being a part of a collegiate environment where providers are collectively invested in excellent patient outcomes; existence of a dedicated staff to support patient-care initiatives; access to the latest technologies; and an extensive representation of fellowship-trained, subspecialty providers.
Lindsay Overko with her husband Steven
Lindsay grew up in Manchester, NH, but relocated to Virginia for her physician assistant (PA) training at Eastern Virginia Medical School. However, she quickly realized a strong desire to return to New Hampshire. Drawn to Concord Hospital because of its notable culture, vast array of career opportunities and high praise from the surrounding community, Lindsay joined in 2016 as a PA in Family Medicine. She is immensely grateful to the recruitment team who helped her realize her long-term goals as well as her management team and colleagues for continuously supporting her career. She was thus able to transfer to Dermatology in August 2018. “This is a wonderful group to work for and I truly enjoy being part of this team; I love the people I work with,” said Lindsay. She also continuously finds herself pleasantly surprised with how engaged and transparent senior leadership is with the staff and providers. She now happily lives in Hooksett with her husband and plans to stay in this area for a long time.
Keira Proctor with her husband Chris
Keira and her husband, both big fans of the outdoors, wanted to relocate farther north than Boston where she attended Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Upon discovering Concord Hospital, which she describes as the friendliest hospital she has ever been to, Keira joined the team in October 2018. She loves living in a wonderfully central location that is a drivable distance from places to kayak, camp, fish, etc. and also has a wonderful school system for her kids. Keira enjoys looking out of the window at the Hospital and seeing a beautiful mountain landscape as well as passing a tractor crossing sign on her way to work. “It makes me smile,” she says. Though it is located near quite a few working farms, she notes, Concord Hospital is not a small rural hospital, but a relatively large multispecialty regional healthcare system. What sets it apart from other hospitals, she says, is three-fold. It's advanced provider friendly, where she always feels treated as an equal by other advanced providers, physicians and administrators; everyone is very patient-focused with Concord Hospital as a whole being uniquely dedicated to preventative medicine, and the mentality of providers to be part of something that is bigger than oneself enables everyone to collaborate extremely effectively.
Dr. Moossavi with his wife Meghan
Dr. Moossavi joined Concord Cardiology Associates in 2016 after completing his interventional cardiology and endovascular fellowship at the University of Vermont. He and his wife were happy to relocate to Concord, as it brought them closer to their family and kept them in New England. Dr. Moossavi was impressed by the welcoming culture of the Hospital and the broad spectrum of services offered. At Concord Hospital, in cardiology, everything is under one umbrella and works as a collaborative body. There is a “beauty to a one-group practice” such as this, he says. He also notes the ease of the work environment and the wonderful work-life balance. Concord Hospital Cardiac Associates performs a high volume of state-of-the-art procedures each year, and thus Dr. Moossavi is afforded the opportunity to focus on the interventional cardiology that is near and dear to his heart.
