Allen J. Cooper

Everett

Summary

I am a former business owner who went back to school because I wanted to make a difference in other people’s lives. Being detail oriented, particularly in patient care, Radiography really intrigued me from the start. I am a great fit for Providence Medical Center for several reasons: I interned for 2 years during my clinical rotation for Bellingham Technical College, I know most of the staff and what the expectations of the radiologist are, and I am fond and familiar with the Everett campus.

Imaging professional with robust history in delivering high-quality imaging services.
