Meet Wanda

She is our wonder woman around the office. She does your x-rays, hooks you up to traction, muscle stim, ionic foot baths, etc.
Not only does she do all of that but she is also our phlebotomist. A really amazing one too!!!

Get to know Wanda:
She has been at our clinic for 8 YEARS!
She’s been working in the medical field for 17 years.
She has been a phlebotomist for 13 years.
She is also trained in many medical and healthcare phlebotomy specialties including blood bank, pediatric, trauma and neonatal.
She is a universal donor but is negative for a specific antibody that 80% of the population has. Which means she has a rare blood type allowing her to donate to newborns.

Thank you for being an amazing co-worker/friend.
Thank you for everything you do around the office. It doesn’t go unnoticed.
We appreciate you! 🫶

Fun facts:
Humans have 4 different blood types with O- being the universal donor.
Dogs have 12 different blood types. German shepherd is their universal donor.
