The hospital is committed to investing in and maintaining state-of-the-art instrumentation and technology, ensuring staff have the tools needed to deliver accurate, timely results to support best practices in diagnostics and quality.
We are seeking an energetic, organized, and detail-oriented leader who is passionate about team development and operational excellence. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys leading people, building morale, strengthening culture, and continuing to grow a solid foundation to move the laboratory forward. This is a unique opportunity for a leader who values collaboration, stability, and community impact — and who is excited to shape the future of a busy, essential lab service while enjoying the unmatched quality of life Vermont has to offer.
