About The Position

At Cleveland Clinic Health System, we believe in a better future for healthcare. And each of us is responsible for honoring our commitment to excellence, pushing the boundaries and transforming the patient experience, every day. We all have the power to help, heal and change lives — beginning with our own. That’s the power of the Cleveland Clinic Health System team, and The Power of Every One. The Phlebotomist is an integral member of the medical laboratory team whose primary function is the collection of blood samples from patients. Phlebotomists also facilitate the collection and transportation of other laboratory specimens (e.g. urine). Very often the patient’s only contact with the medical laboratory is the phlebotomist. Many patients, from children and teens to adults, often find needles and the idea of having their blood drawn frightening. It takes a skilled Phlebotomist to put the patient at ease while obtaining all the required specimens. Through this role, Cleveland Clinic provides education opportunities for development as well as tuition assistance after meeting the required employment time period. Here, you will get to be a part of a collaborative team that is empowered to uphold the quality, integrity and safety of each patient. A PRN caregiver in this position works varying days from 7:00AM – 3:30PM or 4:00AM – 12:30PM, as needed. Martin South Hospital will be the primary work location, but floating to other sites within Martin and St. Lucie County may be required, as needed.
