Campbell County Health is proud of its employees, and we want the CCH family
and the Campbell County community to know about the good work that they
do for this organization.
Meet Jason Russell, a Senior Certified Biomedical Equipment Technician
(CBET) who works in the
Biomedical Department for CCH in Gillette, Wyoming. Jason has been with CCH for 12 years, and
has worked in health care for 15 years. Jason has earned an Associate
of Applied Science (AAS) in Electronic Systems, an AAS in Biomedical Equipment
Technology and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Organizational Leadership.
For those who don’t know, Biomedical Equipment Technicians (BMETs)
are healthcare professionals responsible for servicing, maintaining, and
managing healthcare technologies throughout the organization. Skilled
technicians help acquire, install, maintain, and train healthcare personnel
on cutting-edge medical technology. They also support medical staff
in the use of the technology. For CCH, these professionals have a hand
in servicing more than 4,000 pieces of equipment used to help our patients!
Jason entered a career in health care because he was always interested
in the sciences including biology and anatomy, as well as electronics
and other gadgets. “Working in Biomed has allowed me to put those
interests to work in a way that combines both,” he says. “I’ve
always enjoyed problem solving, and the challenges that go with this line
of are always present and keep me learning innovate ways to keep up with
changes.”
When Jason’s not working, he enjoys the outdoors with his daughter,
Emma. “We play tennis, and go biking, and fishing,” he says.
We asked Jason what he likes most about working for CCH, and what excellence
every day means to him. Check out his response:
“For me it’s obviously the staff and departments that appreciate
our efforts supporting their day to day operations and allow them to perform
their duties most efficiently. My coworkers are highly skilled, self-starters
with a lot of experience, and combined with the budgetary support to have
spare parts on hand in a rural area keeps our department running smoothly.
Excellence every day is performing our duties to the best of our ability
while maintaining patient safety and good stewardship of the hospital
resources.”
Thank you, Jason, for helping us take such great care of our patients with
the best possible equipment. We appreciate you.
