Portage Health home to two new doctors

Portage Health will be employing two recent graduates from the Marquette Family Medicine Residency Program.

Six doctors graduated after three years with the residency program hosted at Marquette General Hospital this year; Mandeep Gill, Timothy LaBonte, Thomas Massie, Ashwaty Menon, Michelle Seguin and Tara Varoni.

LaBonte and Seguin, who both also earned their medical degrees at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, will make the journey to the Keweenaw to work with the Portage Health team. 

LaBonte is a Laurium native and will be returning to the Copper Country to work at Portage Health’s Lake Linden clinic.

Seguin is an Iron Mountain native and will be serving patients at the Hancock clinic, focusing on outpatient family medicine.

“While we are sorry to bid farewell to these fantastic individuals, we are pleased that they will be utilizing their outstanding skills with their own patients, some right here in the Upper Peninsula,” says Dr. Stuart Johnson, director of the program.
