As a part of our Leadership Team, QVMC is proud to share with you a few of our staff members.

 

Connie Hubbell

Director of Nursing

 

Raised in Montana on a ranch, 4 children, 8 grandchildren. I began my career as a Director of Nursing in the Long Term Care setting in 1990. After 10 years I became a traveling consultant for Montana Health Network facilities that were having survey issues. While on assignment to a “very challenging” facility, I met and worked with Medhi Merred. Our work together was very successful and enjoyable. I hoped that one day we could work together again. In 2004, I quit traveling and went to work in Saint Vincent’s Hospital, and shortly after received a call from Medhi as he was looking for a DNS. My decision to come was made quickly; I packed up my Mom and Dad and we all moved to Quincy.
