Lab Assistant I - Lab Support Services
About The Position
As a Laboratory Assistant, you are the critical backbone of our healthcare team and the first step toward accurate patient care. Every sample you process, every phone call you answer, and every blood draw you perform directly affects a patient’s diagnosis and treatment plan. Your attention to detail ensures that doctors receive accurate results quickly, while your calm, reassuring presence can completely transform a stressful hospital visit into a positive experience for a nervous patient. You aren’t just handling paperwork and test tubes; you are actively keeping the hospital moving and helping save lives behind the scenes every single day. This role is a great stepping stone for nursing, pre-med, or biology students, with on-the-job training provided. You can choose to train in one, two, or all three areas: Customer Service (answering phones, looking up lab results, and helping patients), Phlebotomy (safely drawing blood samples from patients), and Specimen Processing (prepping blood, urine, and tissue samples for the testing lab). Data entry into the lab computer system is also a responsibility for all Lab Assistant positions.
