Lab Week Spotlight! 🧪 With nearly 30 years of experience, Glady brings adaptability, dedication, and knowledge to her role as a Medical Laboratory Scientist at Phoenixville Hospital. From hematology and the blood bank to microbiology, and supporting the chemistry team in a lead role, she helps keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes. 🔬
“We’re always busy,” said Glady. “You’re covering different departments, making sure everything’s running, and putting out accurate results.”
When Glady started out in healthcare, she originally planned to pursue nursing. After being introduced to laboratory science by a relative, she found it was the right fit, allowing her to play an important role in patient care behind the scenes.
Even without direct patient interaction, her impact is significant. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 70% of medical decisions are based on laboratory test results.
One of the most interesting parts of her role is the problem-solving aspect. “Sometimes, you look under a microscope and you figure something out and start connecting things,” said Glady. 🔍
After nearly three decades, it’s clear that Glady enjoys the important role she plays – quietly but critically – helping patients get the answers they need. 👏
