Michelle Stover Peterson

I attended MCC after graduation and got my certification in Medical Assisting 1981 (similar to LPN but trained for office setting). I worked at M'town Family Physicians until 1984 when I decided to return to school and get my degree as a Medical Technologist...attended SDSU in Brookings, SD. I met my husband there and we were married in 1988. We moved to Minneapolis in March 1989 and we continued to live there until Nov. 1992 when we came back to Marshalltown. I worked for McFarland Clinic 1992 until I decided to resign in 2001 as our son was diagnosed with autism 3 years earlier and was having some difficulty...so being a Mom, I took time to be there for him. I returned to work in 2003...was the nursing coordinator and assistant to DON at Villa del Sol until Dec. 2006. At that time, MMSC was starting a new family physician/internal med clinic and I missed direct patient care so I applied and I have been there ever since.

A lot has changed in Marshalltown since we graduated...some for the better...some for the worse but it will always be home.
