Thanks for working here this week: Carrie Snyder, MLS (ASCP), CCMH Laboratory Supervisor

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 Carrie Snyder, the Laboratory Supervisor at Campbell County Memorial Hospital in Gillette, Wyoming. Carrie received her bachelors of science in microbiology from the University of Wyoming. She’s worked at CCH for 15 years, but has been in the health care profession for 17 years.

Carrie was inspired to work in health care because she always loved science. “I took a microbiology class in college and I was hooked. Microbiology led me to laboratory science which inspired a career to becoming a Medical Laboratory Scientist (MLS) which is centralized around many disciplines of science,” she says.

When asked who her health care heroes are, Carrie says that she can’t pin down just one person. “It would be a combination of teachers and professors, family, friends and co-workers,” she says.

When she’s not at work, Carrie says that she loves sports, especially the competitive kind. “My favorite sport is softball/baseball. I also enjoy coaching, camping, hiking, hunting, traveling and attending Rockies games with my husband and two daughters,” she says.

We asked Carried what she likes most about working at CCH, and what excellence every day means to her. Check out her response:

“Every day at my job is different, I learn something daily and it’s never mundane or boring. Laboratory Science is always evolving with technology. The CCMH Laboratory is very fortunate to have some of the best technology available to give care providers and patients the most accurate testing possible. I am now in a role that partners Information Systems with Laboratory Science, and I really enjoy this unique mix of knowledge.

The Laboratory provides a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Excellence every day means that I give my very best to making sure my impact on patient care is accurate, effective and efficient.”

Thank you, Carrie, for helping to take care of our patients with excellence. We appreciate you!
