About Dr. Money: Hello! My name is Briana Money (she/her/hers) and I'm from Abilene, Texas. I completed medical school at UNTHSC - Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2017 and then moved to Greeley for residency at NCFM and graduated in 2020. At NCFM, I am co-director of the Living, Leading, and Medicine Track, I am one of our POCUS champions, and am involved with the wellness committee and Holistic Care Track. I also practice and teach OMT and look forward to expanding OMT teaching to all interested residents. I am passionate about leadership, mentoring, and teaching. Outside of NCFM, I started the American Medical Women's Association - Colorado Physician Branch in 2021 and am on the Board of Directors of the Northern Colorado Medical Society. My hobbies include spending time with my husband, running, cycling (outside some but mostly on the Peloton 🙂), camping, hiking, and hanging out with our pets!

About Dr. Alba: Hola! Mi nombre es Michele Alba (she/her/ella). I am the first in my family to explore medicine. After bravely convincing myself that I could be a “doctor” and somehow surviving medical school, I went to the University of Arizona South Campus Family Medicine residency program in Tucson, AZ. Here I fell in love with reproductive healthcare, integrative medicine and tackling social injustices and healthcare disparities. From residency, I completed a surgical obstetrics fellowship in Chicago at PCC Community Wellness learning cesarean sections, MAT in pregnancy and OB ultrasound. I have loved practicing full-scope family medicine with surgical obstetrics at NCFM as faculty. It is the perfect combination of being able to serve a vulnerable population while teaching, mentoring and supporting future family physicians! My niches within NCFM are always evolving and currently include: supporting resident education as didactic faculty advisor, participating in our resident wellness and DEI committees, and advocating for reproductive health, LGBTQ+ care and addiction medicine within primary care. Outside of work, you will find me singing along in the car to country music, enjoying deep conversations with friends, and drooling over Christmas lights every holiday season!  My inner joy and peace come from soaking up snuggles from my (almost three) kiddos and hiking in the beautiful Colorado mountains with my hubby, Jose.

Born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, I moved to Fort Collins, Colorado in 1991. I graduated from Colorado State University with Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Social Work, and have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2008. I have called Greeley my “home” since 2003. In my previous lives, I worked as a counselor/therapist, a child protection caseworker, a bartender/server, and a musician. When I’m not seeing my therapy patients or working with the residents, you might find me traveling, studying oenology, gardening, listening to live music, or hanging out at home with my family, which includes my partner- Mark, my cat- Yoda, and my Jack Russell Terrier- Harley Quinn. My favorite thing about working at NCFM is that it’s NEVER boring!

About Dr. Weigang: I came to Sunrise after residency because I like working with others who are focused on mission driven care and want to break down barriers to care wherever possible. I like the broad perspective I get working for such a diverse community of cultures and it renews my gratitude for the blessings I have. I don’t do hospital call, but I still do a lot of high risk OB care, lots of MAT, and complicated internal medicine as well as pediatric care. When I’m not working, I’m trying to be present in the moment as my young kids grow up. 

About Dr. Moore: I grew up in Memphis, and knew I wanted to pursue underserved populations within medicine. During residency at Via Christi in Kansas I fell in love with rural medicine and took a job in Sterling after graduation. I continue to practice full spectrum family medicine with surgical obstetrics and have the great joy of working with residents here. I am married to a physical therapist and we have 4 children and 2 dogs that keep us very busy. 

I am a proud native of Colorado.  I felt like God called me to medicine when I was in middle school and have chased it ever since.  I went to Rocky Vista University COM for medical school and then completed my family medicine training at Via Christi Family Medicine Residency.  I was happy to come back to Colorado and love my full-spectrum practice that includes endoscopy, surgical obstetrics, women’s health, OMT, and hospital medicine.  My husband and two boys love small town life as well.   I have strong interest in nutrition and exercise and am always looking for better ways to practice preventative medicine.  I love to camp, hike, and ski and have recently gotten way too into triathlon.  I also love to listen to books and make regular valiant efforts at baking bread and gardening.
