IUKA, Miss.—Laura McDuffy, a medical lab technologist in the Pathology Department, has been selected by her peers as NMMC-Iuka’s most recent Employee of the Quarter.

McDuffy joined the hospital staff in 2018. A graduate of Tishomingo County High School, she earned an associate degree in medical laboratory technology from Northeast Mississippi Community College in Booneville in 2012. She is certified by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists.

In her nomination, coworkers say McDuffy is “kind to patients and families,” “always smiling,” and a team player, jumping in to help do whatever needs to be done.

“The best part of my job is the patients we are committed to taking care of and the employees I'm blessed to work with,” McDuffy said.

She and her husband, Eli, have two children—Finley Kate, 5, and Eden, 4. They attend Antioch Free Will Baptist Church in Burnsville.
