Laboratory Technician II
About The Position
Join us at Cleveland Clinic Akron General Hospital where we have been providing world-class care to our community for over 100 years. Here, we strive for patient-centered care and comfort with our collaborative team of healthcare professionals. We are committed to serving the community and treat our patients as family. Using sophisticated laboratory equipment, Lab Technicians look for bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms, match blood for transfusions, analyze the chemical content of body fluids, and test for drug levels in the blood (to show how a patient is responding to treatment). They also count cells and look for abnormal cells in blood and body fluids. They use microscopes, cell counters, automated equipment and computerized analyzers in the clinical laboratory area. The laboratory findings are then conveyed to the physician. A caregiver in this position works evenings, 3:00pm—11:30pm or 12:00pm—8:30pm.
