🌟 Home Grown Talent and Patient Care 🌟 CMMC is proud to introduce the first students of our Earn to Learn Surgical Technologist program! Achsah Davis, a medical lab assistant, and Suzanne Keene, a surgical scheduler, are on a six to nine-month journey to become certified surgical technologists. These future technologists will play a vital role in the OR, setting up surgeries, advocating for patients, and supporting the surgical team. With a national shortage of CTS professionals, this program is key to improving patient care and morale. We’re excited to watch Achsah and Suzanne grow in their careers and within our CMH family!
