Diagnostic Services Team Highlights
Radiology
Our hospital recently purchased a new CT scan for the Radiology department.
This new scan will allow our Radiology employees to excel at their jobs by taking more pictures faster and with less radiation.
It will also make the scanning process less scary for kids since it has a monitor that can play cartoons for them.
Last week was National Radiologic Technology Week!
They had many fun activities throughout the week, like finding their team’s baby pictures and a golden radiation badge hunt.
Laboratory
Cherie Gardner – MT (ASCP) – is the new Lab Manager and she will be making sure we Provide Exceptional Experience.
Cherie has been in the Lab Tech field for 16 years. She first started as an intern for Madison Memorial in 2002.
In 2014, she came back to work for us as a Senior Lab Tech and she got promoted to Lab Manager this August.
We’re the only Laboratory in Southeastern Idaho that does the EPOC H. Pylori Urea Breath Test Analyzer with same-day results!
This breath test is used to detect H. Pylori, a type of bacteria that could infect the stomach and cause ulcers in both the stomach and duodenum.
This year’s Madison Memorial Foundation Golf Tournament was able to raise over $89,000 in donations to buy new Lab equipment.
We never would’ve been able to do it without your help. Thank you!
