Meet Molly Dale, DNP 👋

If you’ve been to Sailwinds over the past year, there’s a good chance you’ve already met Molly—and if you have, you probably get why patients love her. Molly has been part of our team for about a year now, and she’s built a reputation for being warm, attentive, and truly listening to her patients.

Molly is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a special focus on women’s health and family medicine. She cares for adults of all ages and believes great healthcare starts with trust, clear communication, and compassion.

Good news if you’ve been trying to get in to see her: Molly is currently accepting new patients in both our Cambridge and Salisbury locations. If you’re looking for a provider who takes the time to get to know you and supports your health journey every step of the way, she’d love to meet you.

Our patients love Staci! We’ve been combining nutrition therapy, medications, and exercise programs to help our patients achieve weight loss goals they’ve been dreaming of for over two years now!

Food isn’t just fuel — it’s information for your body. 🍎

With our registered dietitian, Staci Walden, RD, you can learn how everyday food choices can support weight loss, boost energy, and help manage health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. This is real-life nutrition, not fad diets or extremes.

Best part? Nutrition visits are covered by insurance just like a regular office visit.

If you’re already a Sailwinds patient, just call or text us and ask to be scheduled with Staci. If you’re coming from outside our practice, you’ll need a referral from your provider.

Food is medicine — and learning how to use it can change your health.

I’m convinced the most popular indoor competitive sport in America isn’t pickleball… it’s comparison.

We compare our houses, our holidays, our gifts, our parties, our kids, our vacations, our bodies, our jobs. Especially this time of year. We scroll online and see bigger piles of presents, fancier decorations, brighter lights, louder parties, and it’s easy to start feeling like we’re somehow falling behind.

Here’s the hard truth: comparison quietly steals our joy and takes a toll on our mental health. It makes us overlook what’s right in front of us while focusing on what we think we’re missing.

This season, let’s try something different.

When you see someone with more lights, more decorations, or a bigger celebration, practice smiling and being genuinely happy for them. Their joy doesn’t take away from yours.

At the same time, pause and be grateful for what you do have. The people who make you laugh. The traditions that matter to you. The small moments that bring peace, comfort, or meaning to your day.

Gratitude is a powerful reset button for the mind. It shifts our focus from “not enough” to “this is good.”

You don’t need to win the comparison game. You can opt out entirely.

Here’s to a season of appreciation, contentment, and being kind to ourselves and each other.

We took a little pause from the busy clinic schedule to do something important: be people together. Our Sailwinds team shared a Christmas linner (yes, lunch + dinner… and yes, it’s totally a thing now) filled with good food, laughter, and genuine connection. No agendas, no charting, just showing up for one another and enjoying each other’s hospitality.

Moments like these matter. Strong teams don’t just happen in exam rooms, they’re built by trust, kindness, and shared time. We’re grateful for this incredible group of humans who care deeply for our patients and for each other. That sense of togetherness carries straight into the care we provide our community every day.

We hope your holiday season includes moments of rest, connection, and a good meal with people who make you feel at home. Thanks for letting us be part of this community we’re proud to serve.

Everybody says, “I don’t know how to meditate.”
But here’s the truth: you already do it every day. You just call it worrying.

Worry is focused, repetitive thinking.
Meditation is focused, repetitive thinking.
Same skill. Different target.

When your brain replays worst-case scenarios, it’s practicing. So what happens if you point that focus somewhere else?

You don’t have to clear your mind. You don’t need candles, music, or a mountaintop. Just take that same energy you give to worry and aim it at something real and good.

Maybe it’s the fact that you got out of bed today.
Maybe it’s someone you love who checked in on you.
Maybe it’s simply having a moment of quiet.

Gratitude doesn’t need to be big to be powerful. When you shift your focus from negative loops to humble appreciation, your brain learns a new habit. Over time, that habit turns worry into meditation—and it pays dividends.

Your mind is always practicing something. You get to choose what.

Living on the Eastern Shore, you should be out enjoying your day, not stuck in a waiting room.

But if you have diabetes or circulation problems, a small cut on your foot or leg that won’t heal is not something to brush off. Putting it off because you don’t want to deal with the hospital can turn a small problem into a serious one.

You deserve specialized wound care close to home.

I’m Pete Lerza, DNP, FNP, WCP. As a Family Nurse Practitioner with certification in wound care, I don’t just treat the wound you can see. I also manage the underlying issues, like diabetes and circulation, that often prevent healing in the first place.

My goal is simple: help you heal quickly, stay mobile, and stay out of the hospital.

Getting on our schedule is easy. We use Epic MyChart, the same system used by large health systems, so you can book directly online at www.SailwindsMedical.com.

If your insurance requires a referral: patients with an HMO or Medicaid and an outside primary care provider will need one. Many patients choose to make Sailwinds their home for both primary care and wound care to keep everything simple and under one roof.
