Press release:
Stafford County mourns the passing of Ralph Metts, a former member of the County Board of Supervisors. Metts served on the Board from 1964 to 1967 and again from 1976 to 1977. His fellow Board members elected him vice chairman in 1965, 1966, and 1967.
“On behalf of the Board and the citizens of Stafford County, I extend our deepest condolences to the family of Ralph Metts,” said Chairman of the Board Meg Bohmke. “By all accounts, Mr. Metts was dedicated to public service and propelling Stafford County forward. We appreciate his service to Stafford County.”
Metts was most proud of his work on the Board in building the first water treatment plant and expanding the public school system. He was on the Board during a pivotal time in Stafford – the beginning of growth with the opening of Interstate 95 in the area in 1964.
Information on arrangements for his burial is available online.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
