Every year ASCLS-IA recognizes individuals, whom have been deemed by their peers, that show outstanding service and dedication to their profession, co-workers and patients. Members are asked to submit a nomination form detailing why they feel these individual should be recognized. Once the nominations have been submitted they are reviewed and voted on by the Nomination committee.


Phlebotomist of the Year:

Devon Carey received Phlebotomist of the Year and Misty Smith received Phlebotomist of the Year Honorable Mention. This award serves to recognize the phlebotomists who are both the legs and the public face of the lab. The quality of our lab testing depends a great deal on their skills. Plus a patient's impression of the laboratory and of laboratorians is mostly determined by his or her interaction with the phlebotomist.
