As IHA continues to trek across the state doing hospital celebrations, our staff is meeting and talking with hospital employees, bringing to light what a career in health care is like. In talking to these individuals, viewers  get a chance to hear from someone in the field, doing their job every day.

This video is from the hospital celebration last month in Atlantic where IHA sat down with Kathy Bucher, Medical Laboratory Technician at Cass County Memorial Hospital, to talk about her job as a lab tech.

Bucher explained why she became interested in becoming a lab tech, what she felt was most rewarding about her job and some advice for others considering a similar career.
