Medical Focus

As a board-certified nurse midwife, I work with patients throughout their pregnancies, manage their labor and delivery in our Birth Center, and help them through postpartum issues such as breastfeeding. I am also a board-certified family nurse practitioner, so I provide a wide spectrum of care in Family Medicine, from helping patients with chronic conditions to seeing families for checkups. I also provide care in our Wound Center.

My Passion

I’m really proud to be a good listener. I enjoy hearing from my patients about how they’re feeling, what’s going well and what they’d like to improve. I also like to learn about their families, jobs, and backgrounds. I’m an educator at heart, always looking for opportunities to help my patients understand their conditions.

After Hours

My husband, Gregg, and I have two sons and a daughter. We’ve lived in the Glencoe area for 20+ years. I never wanted to work or live in an urban setting, so my commitment to our region is heartfelt. I love water sports, like swimming, waterskiing and fishing, but Gregg and I find that most of our time is spent keeping up with our children and their families. It’s a great life.

Latest Reviews

"Michelle is the epitome of a professional care giver in all she does. She has up-to-date knowledge, experience, individual understanding of my history, and genuine personal kindness that shows how she values my experiences with curious compassion. She explains all my options to help me best consider what will work to help me improve my health. She has past knowledge of side effects, effectiveness, and costs. I respect and appreciate her willingness to go above and beyond, help in relating to navigating chapters of life, and letting me know she is on my team to help support and problem solve. I hope GRH always has this level of care available through her talents, skills, and gifts. It has made a significantly positive impact on my health and my self-care efforts. I trust her with my 3 daughters and know they benefit from her as well."

"I had some anxiety as my husband was having open heart surgery. Michelle Quale took lots of time with me - even giving advice for my husband's recovery! "

January 2025

"Michelle is hands down the best! I have been going to her for over 20 years. I came in that day with lots of concerns and left feeling as if a weight had been lifted. She took the time to listen to me and we worked out a medication plan that I was comfortable with. She never once made me feel bad about my problems/concerns."

"Good."

October 2024

"For me, Michelle always takes the extra step. She asks probing questions when needed. I also can't say enough about how caring she is. One year ago, I had an ultrasound-guided biopsy of my left breast. She called me two days later, after 7 pm, to tell me I had breast cancer. Her voice was choked up and tearful. Without a doubt, she cared. Who could ask for more?"
