Labs are no longer at the GRC. The new Location is at our Acute Care Clinic across the street from the Ginger Ryan Clinic
Opened in 2005 and named in honor of CCHCI’s founding CEO, the Ginger Ryan Clinic Douglas AZ delivers comprehensive health services for adults and women—though children are also seen by our family practice providers.
Our downtown clinic offers a rich mix of services: a thriving dental program serving all ages, integrated behavioral health, dietetics, and substance-use counseling.
For essential diagnostic needs, radiology services—including mammograms and ultrasounds—are available every Thursday and Friday, making care more convenient and accessible.
We also provide insurance eligibility and enrollment support to help you access care without the hassle. Whether you’re applying for coverage or checking benefits, our team is here to help.
Please note that the laboratory is now located across the street at our Acute Care Clinic and Pharmacy, ensuring a smoother experience when visiting for lab work.
Find us at 1100 F Avenue, Douglas, AZ 85607. Our central location in the historic heart of Douglas makes us easy to reach for families across Cochise County.
As part of CCHCI—the largest primary care network in southeastern Arizona—our mission is to offer accessible, compassionate care to every member of your family.
Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner
JOINED CCHCI IN 2019
Born and raised in Douglas, Az, I am the oldest of three siblings and was the first generation to attend college and graduate. I attended Loretto, Douglas High School and Cochise College. After becoming a Registered Nurse, I moved to Tucson where I furthered my nursing career and gained a variety of experience in the intensive care unit at UMC-South Campus, while completing my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Grand Canyon University. I then worked as a research nurse with the University of Arizona while I completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice at Arizona State University- Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation. During my training as a Nurse Practitioner I became aware of the need for providers throughout Cochise County, which motivated me to complete most of my rotations in Sierra Vista and Douglas.
My medical passion is to contribute to my community and those undeserved while managing health issues, reaching a healthy balance, and focusing on prevention.
I enjoy spending time with my family, riding my bike, snowboarding, and working on whichever new project I have in my sights. My family and I like to travel a lot and try to visit new places. I try to see as many superhero movies with my kids and wife in hopes that they will like them as much as me.

JOINED CHIRICAHUA IN 2021
I grew up in Douglas with amazing parents and two overprotective older brothers. I always did well in school and stayed busy by participating in sports. I especially loved playing soccer although I wasn’t a very skilled player. Later, I decided to go to college in Tucson, not only did this make sense financially but also was close enough for me to visit my family often. I later started my own family, marrying my husband Josh in 2008 and later having children, Jay and Lucia. We like to travel as a family and we visit many places including my husband’s home state of Pennsylvania. Although it is fun to visit other places, and living in Tucson for nearly 17 years was fun, I have always been called back home.
In 2021 I moved my family to Douglas, my home town, so that I can spend more time with my parents and to provide medical care to the community that gave me such a great childhood. My husband needed much convincing, but after being here a few months he completely understands and appreciates the small-town appeal. It’s a place where we easily connect with our neighbors, where recommendations are made word-of-mouth not through a google search, and where my children get to spend most of their day with their grandparents who love them so much and treat them so well. My entire family is happy to be in Douglas. Thank you to my home-town community for welcoming me back and for allowing me to help with your medical needs. I take the job and the responsibility very seriously and it’s one I hope to have for many years to come.
After completing general course work at Cochise College I then moved on to study at the University of Arizona. I have a bachelor’s degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology and in Nursing. While working as a bedside cardiac nurse at a large Tucson hospital I completed my Master’s in Nursing practice with a focus in Family Nurse Practitioner in 2015, and then earned my degree of Doctor of Nursing Practice in the spring of 2016. That makes me a doctor-nurse 🙂

MY BACKGROUND
I was born and raised in Douglas AZ and attended A Avenue Elementary School, Paul Huber Middle School, Douglas High School and Cochise College, where I became a Registered Nurse. I worked at Canyon Vista Medical Center for 4 years, commuting back and forth to Douglas. As I was about to start my family of 2 boys, Cain and Xavier, with my husband Fabian, I decided I no longer wanted to commute and I wanted to do more for my community; the community where I would raise my family. I took a part time job at DCI, a dialysis clinic in Douglas and began to attend the University of Phoenix where I received my Masters of Science in Nursing – FNP.
I enjoy spending time with my family, we are always doing something; barbecuing, going to the park, hiking or at a baseball game.
My medical passion is to provide health care to the community that raised me.
