RESIDENTS

Cassie Turnage, MD

Cassie grew up in Mechanicsville, VA and studied Biomedical Engineering in undergrad at Virginia Commonwealth University before attending medical school at the University of Virginia. While her initial love for mountains blossomed in the Appalachians, she decided to gain some altitude with a big move out west. In addition to anything outdoors (especially mountain biking and skiing), she also loves cooking, gardening, and hanging out with co-residents and her dog Mabel. After two years of pediatrics she is excited to be moving into neurology training as part of pediatric neurology fellowship!

Allison Chirigos, MD

Though Allie grew up in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, PA, she pursued much of her education prior to residency in Virginia. She attended W&L University, where she graduated with a Biochemistry major and Philosophy minor and then completed her medical degree at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Afterwards, she moved to Utah to begin her Child Neurology residency and to be closer to the mountains. She spends her free time practicing yoga and getting outside in any way she can including hiking, mountain biking, and skiing.

McKenna Coletti, MD

McKenna grew up in the Salt Lake area, left for an undergrad in Northern California before returning to Utah for medical school and residency. Her academic interests include pediatric stroke, tele-stroke, effective communication, and the role of feedback in medical school and residency.

She has two kids (4 and 1 years) and when she’s not trying to teach them to ski or play soccer you can find her running with her co-residents on one of the many trails in the area.

MaryGlen Vielleux Stanich, MD

Resident

Calls Great Falls, Montana, her home. Her interest in neuroscience was piqued in her undergrad at Montana State, then further clarified in medical school at the University of Washington where she fell in love with pediatrics and continued to love studying the brain. Fun fact: She’s a 4th generation Montanan! She thinks Utah is pretty dang nice though. Outside of work, she loves spending time with co-residents and exploring new trails.
