On July 30, 2026, Duke Pathology hosted a luncheon to celebrate department members who have reached major milestones in their continuous service to Duke. Awardees gathered in Duke School of Medicine’s Davison Building, where Johnston-West Endowed Department Chair of Pathology Jiaoti Huang, MD, PhD, recognized their commitment to work as a team to achieve departmental goals throughout the years.
“Our employees who reach these impressive milestones are committed team members who have made important contributions to the missions of our department,” said Huang. Their long-term service is the reason we can provide the best care for our patients as well as have the most impactful research and education programs.”
Huang also thanked Senior Business Manager Pamela Harris, Staff Specialist Ginger Griffin, Administrative Assistant Eliya Watson, and Director of Graduate Studies Ebony Ambrose, MBA, who coordinated this luncheon to honor our valued employees.
