Seeing the kids that I work with interacting with their parents, working together to get the ball rolling with making changes and improvements, and moving in the right direction is one of the best parts of this job.”

  • Chris

    CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION TECH II

Working in a high-pressure environment requires a lot from a person, but the rewards make it worth it. We learn multiple roles, work with cutting-edge technology, and sometimes do cutting-edge procedures.”

  • Monique
