Mary Vuljoin 

Mary became an employee of Lallie Kemp in 2010, but was domiciled here during her employment with our previous contracted pharmacy group “Pharmacare” for nine (9) years. She is currently our “Pharmacy Director”. Mary's primary responsibility is to make sure that we are compliant with medication management and engage clinical staff to reach a common goal.

When asked about her greatest accomplishment at LKMC she stated, “Keeping my staff motivated and educated about our purpose here.” When asked what she likes most about her job, she said “The interaction I have with the staff that is essential to my job”.

Here is some little known information about Mary. She rides a “Harley”. She put herself through college by being a Spanish interpreter. She was 25 before she learned how to swim. She also wanted to be a calculus professor before deciding to become a Pharmacist. She is married, has 3 children and 4 grandchildren. She likes to listen to all types of music and travel. She is also a volunteer for the Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival as well as ARC in Metairie.

When asked about her reaction to being named a “Shining Star”, she said, “I was humbled, very, very humbled.” When you see Mary, please congratulate her on being named February's “Shining Star”.
