Enjoy a rewarding career at CentraCare as a Medical Lab Scientist!

This is a generalist MLS position working in multiple areas of the laboratory including hematology, chemistry and possibly microbiology and transfusion services.

Laboratory professionals are key members of today’s health care team, and quality medical care depends on them. Every day, nurses, physicians, and other medical workers rely on laboratory professionals to perform tests on body fluids and tissue samples, interpret the results and help provide a complete picture of a patient’s health. Without this precise and valuable information, medicine would simply be guesswork.

At the heart of CentraCare Laboratory Services is a team of caring, skilled professionals dedicated to the pursuit of excellence. This creates a professional network where staff can work together, serve as resources for one another and engage in system-wide problem solving. Many of our staff participate on hospital and clinic committees and task forces.
