I have known Bruce Rioux for many years. We worked at the VA in Togus together. I have enormous respect for him and he frequently told me how happy he was at MRH. I love to provide anesthesia in the rural setting having worked at Rumford and Bridgton hospitals in the past. When I heard there was opening at MRH it felt like a perfect fit. Having been here since January I have come to know and like the people here in Millinocket. The countryside is stunning as well. I look forward to everything there is to offer in the coming years.

Hiking, kayaking, fishing and enjoying the great Maine outdoors
We came to Maine initially from England to experience and enjoy its pure and untouched natural beauty. We were then mesmerized by the beautiful nature in and around Millinocket, which to us is majestic and magical and out of this world. This is also reflected in its people who are happy, content and full of joy of life. This is very uplifting to us and truly we did not find it anywhere else on earth. The place and its people are unique and we love it all.

The main reason that I returned to Maine is to be closer to my family. I have many aunts, uncles, and cousins between Millinocket and the Bangor area who I have not seen enough of in recent years. My family has always been extremely supportive of me becoming a PA and has helped me in every way that they possibly could.
Reading and cooking
While it was difficult to leave the community in which I spent my college years, I missed my hometown of East Millinocket and wanted to return. There is something about having familiar faces at the bank, at the doctor’s office, and in the grocery store that can’t be replaced by what bigger communities have to offer. The people of Maine are tightly knit and that was something I missed and appreciated more and more the longer that I was away. Working in a small community hospital like MRH gives me the opportunity to provide highly personalized care to the local people of the Katahdin region, both familiar faces and new faces. I couldn’t be more excited to return to the area to begin seeing patients.

This is a very well run health care organization with teamwork that is the envy of larger medical centers. Everyone here is focused on the single goal of restoring the health of the patients, many of whom are in fact their neighbors and friends. The hospital is cleaner, and has much better leadership and employees, than many larger hospitals in far larger cities.

Spending time with family, going to camp, being outdoors, snowmobiling, watching my sons sporting events and reading.
I have worked at MRH for five years as a nurse care manager and have loved every minute of it. The patients, their families, staff and community were welcoming since day one. It made my decision to come back after furthering my education very easy. I also particularly enjoy the small-town atmosphere and practice setting where I can truly get to know my patients and what matters to them.

As a physician, I have a particular interest in hospital medicine, as well as dermoscopy and dermatologic care in primary care, and experience with definitive management for localized skin cancers.
I also have 8 years experience in EMS as both a Basic EMT and Paramedic prior to medical school, and enjoy continuing to be involved in emergency care here at MRH.
Patricia Turnquist (wife)
Emma Turnquist (daughter, born 2014)
I chose to come to MRH because it provides a unique opportunity for me to use multiple skill sets; including my knowledge of inpatient medicine, primary care, emergency medicine, skin care, and chronic wound management all within a single practice environment. I enjoy rural medical practice, and the opportunity to both capitalize on, and continue to expand, the breadth of my knowledge to more completely serve a community lacking in subspecialty care.
