Certified Phlebotomist Blood Center Lead

You.

You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as a Certified Phlebotomist Blood Center Lead. 

Your compassion is tangible: patients feel it in the hand they hold. Families feel it in your prayers. Colleagues feel it in your support.

Youâ™re equally comfortable with performing inpatient and outpatient venipunctures, performing data entry, and assisting with reception desk responsibilities.

Youâ™re great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.

We.

Together weâ™ll align mission and careers, values and workplace. Weâ™ll encourage joy and take pride in our integrity.
