After graduating from Frederick Community College in 1987 as a Registered Nurse (R.N.), Tracey worked for the next decade in both the E.R. and I.C.U. at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, as well as in Hospice and Home Health throughout the tri-state area. In 1997 she earned a master’s degree in Family Medicine with a specialization in gynecological and women’s health, eventually fulfilling her dream of opening her own practice in 2004 in the heart of Boonsboro, MD. Tracey has a deep passion for family medicine and the impact sustained, comprehensive healthcare can have on the lives of her patients. She has also maintained her commitment to Advanced Practice Nursing and mentors at least one or two students a year. She has been in private practice since 1997 and continues to love every minute of it. 

Tracey is very proud of her wonderful children (two of whom you might see around the office!)  and four senior dogs who love her dearly. In her spare time she enjoys gardening, hiking, cooking, and scheming new ways to adopt even more senior dogs. Habla español.

Jill has practiced in an urgent care and primary care setting as well as a virtual setting as a Nurse Practitioner.

Jill is excited to meet everyone and cannot wait to form relationships with the South Mountain Community Health patients and their families/caregivers. Jill and her family enjoy a busy life in a small-town setting. Homework, sports, and the occasional nature outing occupy most of the days, but they also enjoy traveling and being active participants within their community.
