There’s No Substitute for Experience

At First Quality Consulting, I believe that supporting our patients to live the best quality of life possible, retaining some independence and pride, having peace of mind, and getting support to be as healthy and happy as possible. We now have the technology to enhance the care at home and support both the patient and the caregivers – paid and unpaid.

I carried this same committment into my 40+ year healthcare career, working across top organizations like Mayo Clinic, Maricopa County, and Park Nicollet/Health Partners. From nursing to executive leadership, I’ve led programs across specialties in oncology, hospice and palliative care, cardiology, psychiatry, and beyond.

When we work together, you’re not just getting experience—you’re getting someone who’s lived healthcare, both professionally and personally. I’ve been the caregiver for patients and also for family. It can be exhausting and lonely. We are here to help. I will lead those conversations and then work to provide the best possible hybrid home care in collaboration with local organizations.

TESTIMONIALS

Meg has so much to offer. I’m sure that there would be a lot of nursing and healthcare professionals who would be interested in life coaching around offboarding from their health related careers into retirement, finding ways to continue to contribute to other’s health and wellbeing and live their life’s purpose in a meaningful and professional way without shifts or full-time, heavy responsibilities. Meg is absolutely the right person to help coach them through these big life transitions.

Stephanie Rivery DNP, RN, PHN

Meg has always impressed me with how knowledgeable she is, how generous she is with her time, and how easily she relates to people.

Louise Samuelson, HBScRN, MBA

Meg has firsthand experience of being an effective leader and has been willing to share how she has become a successful leader with others. She knows what it takes to be a successful leader! I have benefitted from Meg’s mentoring in more ways than one. Meg has been influential in my leadership career by inspiring me to learn and is vested in my success as a leader. She is passionate about leadership and goes above and beyond when it comes to mentoring new leaders! I am lucky to have had Meg mentor me as I turned a low-performing department into a high-performing department!

Melissa Milbrandt, BSN, RN

Meg has a great way of working with teams to understand what is needed. To listen and work to engage teams to create processes, policies and procedures, training and timelines to accomplish tasks large and small. Meg is an advocate for the nurses and the nursing profession.

Terri Draxton BS, Clinic Director – HealthPartners

I worked with Meg for almost ten years. We developed an innovative team-based care clinic that utilized RNs in key roles. They did patient visits, managed our hypertensive patients better than usual care (our study showed the RNs got 88% of our patients to goal, well above the overall organization), and were responsible for improving quality in key areas such as depression, asthma, and vascular disease. Our total cost of care was 12% lower than the average clinic, with better-than-average quality numbers and patient satisfaction. Meg supported us when other administrative and physician leaders pushed back against our work. Highly recommended.

James Welters, Urgent Care Physician – Park Nicollet Health Services

I have had the pleasure of working with Meg at Park Nicollet. In that time, I was consistently impressed by her leadership and dedication to her team.

Meg is a natural leader who is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure that their team is supported and motivated. She has an incredible ability to communicate effectively with staff members at all levels, which fosters a positive and collaborative work environment.

In addition to her leadership skills, Meg is extremely knowledgeable in her field. She stays up-to-date on the latest industry trends and is always looking for ways to improve our processes and procedures.

Meg is an asset to any team and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with her.
