Annual tests like blood work and preventive screenings play a key role in early detection of medical conditions. Star Valley Health’s Lead Medical Laboratory Scientist Joan Groman is on the front line of diagnostics in our community.
“When you’re building relationships with patients and seeing them progress throughout their healthcare journey, it’s really rewarding.”
Joan and her team provide a wide range of testing, from blood work to urinalysis and PCR tests. Star Valley Health’s lab is staffed 24/7, ensuring that hospital patients receive prompt results, no matter the hour. The lab also conducts blood work for outpatients with physician referrals.
“We take pride in making sure we’re reporting out accurate and timely results for physicians, so they can take better care of patients and we can ultimately have a healthier community.”
“Joan exemplifies excellence in every aspect of her job,” says Laboratory Director Greg Gillespie. “She treats everyone with kindness and empathy and provides calm and steady leadership to the lab staff.”
