Additional Information
In addition to my imaging duties at the clinic, I help in other ways to keep the clinic running smoothly. I inventory the clean supply room and linens weekly; Assist physical therapy when requested with providing supplies and/or assistance with their patients; and I am also on the Morale team at the clinic. We are always working together to find ways to make the team feel good and have a little fun and be appreciated for what they do here. We have potlucks, interactive participations, and occasionally we arrange to do something outside of the clinic to have a little camaraderie and let loose a bit!
